Virginia Democrats Moving to Require Schools to Teach That January 6th Was an ‘Insurrection’​

Since taking power just weeks ago, they have moved to increase and create new taxes on everything from car ownership to dog walking, and they are trying to redistrict Republicans out of existence.

Now we are learning that they want to require schools to teach that January 6th was an ‘insurrection.’
Law Professor Jonathan Turley writes at his blog:

Virginia Democrats Move to Require Teaching Jan. 6th as an “Insurrection”
Virginia Democrats are moving to require teachers to tell students that Jan. 6th was an “insurrection” and effectively bar them from referencing “peaceful protests” or election irregularities. The characterization of the riot as an insurrection is historically and legally false. However, any parents who want to send their children to Virginia public schools would have to accept this form of indoctrination as part of their children’s education.

The bill requires any such program of instruction, any accompanying curriculum or instructional materials, or any instruction provided by a teacher as a part of such program of instruction to describe the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capitol as an unprecedented, violent attack on U.S. democratic institutions, infrastructure, and representatives for the purpose of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election.”
