Residents voiced their opinions on the issue during the school board meeting

CAMPBELL COUNTY, Va. – On Monday, the Campbell County School Board unanimously voted to ban “inherently divisive concepts” from being taught in the school system.

The resolution states schools in the county will not teach critical race theory, including the use of the 1619 project.

There was no discussion from school board members before voting, but residents of Campbell County did not hesitate to share their views.

”Learning is no longer encouraged. Kids are taught to memorize and regurgitate what is presented,” Campbell County resident Jackie Mendez voiced. “Kids are indoctrinated with the latest trends of political ideology. It’s mental programming.”
