Youngkin Replaces State’s Department of Equity and Inclusion with Anti-CRT Leaders
Move over ‘Critical Race Theory’ there’s a new Sheriff in town
Move over ‘Critical Race Theory’ there’s a new Sheriff in town. Newly elected Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin just ripped the roof off of Virginia’s “woke” elite. Youngkin completely gutted the employees of the state’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and then rebuilt it, filling the positions with reasonable individuals.
Christopher Rufo tweeted, “Glenn Youngkin has asked all of the state’s DEI employees to resign and tapped anti-critical race theory leader Angela Sailor to lead the department. In her first move, Sailor eliminated the word ‘equity’ and replaced it with ‘opportunity.”
Youngkin asked all of the state’s DEI employees to resign, then put Sailor in charge to lead the department. Sailor is a former policy expert at The Heritage Foundation;. Having replaced the word ‘equity’ for ‘opportunity’ at the department, Sailor is now formally the DOI “Director of Diversity, Opportunity and Inclusion.”
Citizen Free Press reports “Youngkin also issued an executive order to refocus the DEI office, tasking Sailor and her staff to work on economic opportunity, cooperation among religious groups, promoting ‘free speech and civil discourse’ at colleges and universities, and ensuring that Virginia’s history curriculum is ‘honest, objective, and complete.”
Rufo’s tweet included a link to an article by the Richmond Times-Dispatch which reported “Former Gov. Ralph Northam created the state’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in 2019 in the aftermath of the blackface scandal that nearly ended his term. The office has been unstaffed since its former chief and her four staffers, who served at the will of the governor, were not asked to stay in their jobs.”
Richmond Times-Dispatch reports:
Youngkin’s first executive order signed Saturday seeks to ban “inherently divisive” concepts from Virginia classrooms.
In recent blog posts for The Heritage Foundation, Sailor said that lessons arguing that “America is systemically racist,” are “the textbook definition of racism.”
“No one would argue that children shouldn’t be thoroughly taught about the evils of racism, slavery, and segregation that happened in this country,” she wrote in July in a piece titled, “Schools Hiding Behind Diversity and Inclusion Rhetoric to Spew Critical Race Theory Vile.”
“But [critical race theory] ignores the hundreds of thousands of lives that were sacrificed during the Civil War to end slavery, the long struggle of the civil rights movement to end segregation and win equality, and the reality that the nation has made great progress.”
Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) – who dealt a potentially fatal blow to the Democrats’ election reform legislation by refusing President Biden’s push to reform Senate filibuster rules – appears to have avoided Biden as he spoke to reporters after meeting with Senate Democrats to the legislation.
In a video posted on YouTube, as Biden speaks to reporters, Sinema can be seen emerging from a Senate room in the background. As soon as Sinema appears to see Biden, she turns around and walks in the other direction.
Under current Senate rules, at least 60 senators would need to support Biden’s election reform legislation for it to pass. With the 50-50 split in the Senate, Democrats would need at least 10 Republicans to support the bill for it to have any chance of passing. In order to bypass this, Biden has pushed for eliminating the filibuster, which would effectively allow Democrats to ram through their legislation.
On Thursday, Sinema announced that she did not support eliminating the filibuster to allow the bills to pass through the Senate.
“There’s no need for me to restate my longstanding support for the 60-vote threshold to pass legislation. There’s no need for me to restate its role in protecting our country from wild reversals of federal policy,” Sinema said, according to Fox News. “This week’s harried discussions about Senate rules are but a poor substitute for what I believe could have and should have been a thoughtful public debate at any time over the past year.”
“But what is the legislative filibuster, other than a tool that requires new federal policy to be broadly supported by senators, representing the broader cross-section of Americans… Demands to eliminate this threshold from whichever party holds the fleeting majority amount to a group of people separated on two sides of a canyon, shouting that solution to their colleagues,” she continued.
“These bills help treat the symptoms of the disease, but they do not fully address the disease itself. And while I continue to support these bills, I will not support separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division affecting our country,” Sinema added.
“Some have given up on the goal of erasing our divisions and uniting Americans. I have not,” Sinema stated. “I’ve worked hard to demonstrate in my public service, the value of working with unlikely allies to get results.”

FOX — GET RID OF GERALDO RIVERA!!! That man is totally predictable! His political views are CNN-like at this point. He is just basically an egotistical “name dropper” who is rapidly becoming more and more like Al Sharpton in his “race-baiting” comments — or should I say “riot-baiting”????

Gerry Rivers just never stops with his Racial Rhetoric that stirs up the Black community. His RECKLESS BS regarding the police has gotten to the point where he should NOT be on the FOX Network !! He’s WAY past his time as a “journalist” and there’s NO excuse for his IDIOCY !

I agree with Leo. Let the facts be established first. Geraldo is a sensationalist and his language is inappropriate ( another traffic stop, another warrent, etc.).

Geraldo is race baiting and race hustling as usual. When a black perp kills a white cop, it’s not even covered by liberal news outlets. When a black perp bludgeons an Asian American, when a black perp kills any white person… no coverage whatsoever. ‘White guys with guns’ and ‘white cops killing blacks’ is part and parcel of MSM leftist news narrative. It’s purpose, to create anarchy. It’s incendiary hate mongering. Billions of dollars of damage and countless lives lost over the course of the last 10 months due to BLM race riots egged on by black opinion leaders (you know who there are) fanning the flames of racial hate.

Geraldo is willingly ignorant, ignorant of the facts in the case. No one knows the true facts of the case except for the investigators. He acts as though these unfortunate acts occur daily, and only Black men are targeted by police. Again, Geraldo is willingly ignorant and his language just adds fuel to the fire.
I spent 22 years in the military and I know accidental discharges occur and innocent sailors, Marines, and soldiers are killed or wounded. It is unfortunate this young man died, but it could have been prevented if he had simply complied with the police. Now, that does not excuse the officer’s actions, but Wright’s actions provided the spark that lit the flame.

Leo, Thank You for being the voice of reason – not only in this case – but, in evaluating current issues.

Geraldo: “Not open season on black men.” Nice way to continue on inciting violence and looting. Meanwhile it’s ok to kill white people. Rivera is only a leftist talking piece, who of course follows no logic.

Stopped tuning to Fox. Realize from when I use to watch that Geraldo is an opportunistic commentator: he always take took the side of the Far-Left Loons and looks silly doing so, but Fox keeps him on the payroll. The Fake News Drivebys are not news organizations but some on TV live to spew the rhetoric of their backers: Loons who want nothing more than see the nation devolve in senseless riots, and the rise of the idiots like those in the DemoRat Party and the Rhinos of the Repubs.
