Democrats in the Virginia state legislature put on hold a bill that would require schools teach about communism and its victims.
Although House Bill 1816, the “Standards of Learning; instruction on dangers and victims of communism,” passed the House of Delegates with some Democrat support, it ultimately met its demise in the Democrat-controlled Senate of Virginia, Fox News reports.
The bill was “passed by indefinitely” by the Committee on Education and Health, which means it could be reconsidered at a later date. If it isn’t, the bill essentially will be dead.
Democrats in both legislative chambers voted “nay” following the Virginia Education Association’s claim that the bill might lead to negative reactions against Asian students.
Strangely, the “League of Women Voters” lobbied against (!) AB446 recently, despite our long term, disastrous reading results.
