A scandal-hit school board has now launched a study into whether it would be appropriate to give reparations to black people after it previously ignored a landmark desegregation ruling. Loudoun County in Virginia voted 6-3 in favor of beginning the study Tuesday after it was proposed by supervisor Juli Briskman. Speaking to Fox5 about her proposal, Briskman said: 'The anti-CRT (critical race theory) movement is much more about 'today' and what we're teaching today. And my board member initiative is looking back at potential harm that was because we operated segregated schools illegally against the ruling of Brown vs. the Board of Education,

I would hope my grandson is educated in this county and not socially engineered.

Sounds like another school board with a bad case of Mission Creep. Governments shouldn't be deciding school curricula, and school boards should not be deciding governmental policy.

I used to drive through that part of Virginia back about 30+ years ago, and it was all farmland. My parents would go to a big horse show up in that area each year. I never went but have a T-shirt that they got me.
About 5-6 years ago, I went through and was surprised at the massive number of new homes built out in areas which were far out country not long before.
Bring in Yankees, and you'll get their stupid, destructive Yankee ways, every time. Same problem around
Fredricksburg, too. I used to hit I-95 at the Fredricksburg exit from our old central Virginia home when I was going north to DC, say for the museums. But the traffic at that area got so bad as they built out towards the Chancellorsville and Wilderness Battlefield areas that I was avoiding it like the plague the last decade. But, I sold the house, and the last of my holdings there except for one piece of vacant land which I lease out for hunting, and won't be going back.
The Virginia I grew up in is pretty much gone, swarmed by northern folks who bring their NY, Boston and other totally dysfunctional ways with them.

No’s. 1 and 3, it’s not just Yankees. It’s woke Deep Staters.
Back in the day, LOUDOUN didn’t want to become “FAIRFAXED.”
They’ve now passed Fairfax in spades. It’s the new “in” place to live — passing Great Falls and McLean.
Proof that Communists RUIN everything they touch.
And then some.

So how the hell is this the province of a K-12 school board.

And to think my ancestors were some of the earliest settlers in Virginia. They’re rolling over in their graves.

Hmmm......... since I've never owned a slave and none of those people have been a slave, it's a stupid idea. Obviously some people have a lot more time on their hands than they should.

I lived in Loudoun County in 2008 and fled back to Texas once it was clear that Virginia was going for Obama and that he would be president. Obama's efforts to transform America can be seen in the political changes in Virginia and in counties like Loudoun that previously were conservative strongholds. Given that Biden is changing the complexion of America at a speed Obama can only envy, the people have a choice. Sitting back and griping about RINOs will only accelerate the changes afoot throughout the country. Texas is not only headed for minority-majority status, it is heading for illegal alien-majority status and we know that every good commie believes it is the right of any illegal to vote in U.S. elections. It won't be long until the people who are laying low, keeping their powder dry will find that there is no use for dry powder as the country is lost. Doing something about it will definitely take people out of their comfort zones but the alarm bells are ringing and once the game is over, there will never again be comfort zones for traditional Americans.

I spent the first 31 years of my life in Chicago and a couple suburbs when it was a great place to live. Moved to Northern Virginia in 1983 and discovered it was a greater place to live. Illinois went to hell and now Northern Virginia is going to hell. I promise real America I won’t move again and bring bring my poisonous JuJu to any good States. Self-quarantine.

#3 and 4 - it's not just the Yankees - not all Yankees are liberal Democrats (cough cough) but it is also all the Indian and other foreigners (H1-B visas anyone) that have changed the dynamics of Virginia for the worse. BTW - Juli Briskman, is the former contractor who flipped off President Trump in the first year of his administration. What happened to all those RESIST bumper stickers?

No one in this country today has ever been a slave and no one in this country today has ever owned a slave. The Democrat party fought a civil war to keep slavery. They claimed the slaves would be better off in the care of their masters. After they lost the war they created the KKK to terrorize the newly freed slaves. They created all those Jim Crow laws. If anyone owes reparations it's the Democrat party. NOT the country.

CRT, Howard Zinn books, no AP courses till HS junior year, 1619 project, Kendi inspired curriculum, what's not to like? Daughter sold her home there for 950k, bought a bigger home in North Ga where NONE of this evil stuff is going on, for 650k. All so our g-daughter can hopefully be un indoctrinated. Pray for those left behind.

My son in law is black, German, Irish and Apache. He and my daughter, who is half Mexican, live in Loudoun County with 2 children. Who is going to pay reparations to whom in their family? I thank God that he is a conservative.
I lived in that county for 24 years and watched it turn blue due to all of the DC bureaucrats and immigrants, both legal and illegal. The county seat, Leesburg, has a huge gang problem.
#3, that horse show is the annual Upperville Show which is the oldest horse show in the country. We used to go to the Sunday Grand Prix event every year when we lived in the county.

This county stinks with gubbermint employees - no wonder DC can't get anything done with the like of the people that vote for school board members like this? They vote for the same kind of knuckleheads for their state and federal house and senate seat too.

The real estate cabal and the tax collectors welcomed in Yankee refugees who like the weather and the low taxes, but despise the South. And as they always do, they've turned New Virginia into New Jersey South. Enjoy the suck; soon enough the human termites will relocate to Florida or Texas to continue their good work.
