Fairfax school board swaps 'truthful education' resolution linked to critical race theory

The Fairfax County School Board in Virginia scrapped a resolution Thursday affirming support for “truthful education” linked to aspects of critical race theory and instead approved a watered-down version that backers said was “less divisive.”

The board was slated to vote on the controversial “Truthful Education in FCPS: Support for Educators and School-Based Administrators Resolution,” which promised to support teachers and district staff who “develop and implement antiracist, equity- and justice- based classroom resources and pedagogy.”
