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\u2019s education.<\/p>\n<p>In the last election, Democrats campaigned as moderates, including Abigail Spanberger. Once in control of the Governor\u2019s mansion and the legislature, however, they have moved quickly to the far left in a flurry of measures. Democratic legislators just voted themselves almost a 300% increase in salaries.  They will need it. They are moving to increase taxes on ride shares, concerts, counseling, leaf blowers, Amazon deliveries, DoorDash, Uber Eats, ammunition, and other areas.<\/p>\n<p>However, HB 333, drafted by Del. Dan I. Helmer of Fairfax, raises serious concerns over academic freedom and free speech.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a summary of <a href=\"https:\/\/lis.virginia.gov\/bill-details\/20261\/HB333\" target=\"_blank\">the bill:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cprohibits 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 from (i) describing, portraying, or presenting as credible a description or portrayal of the actions precipitating or involved in the January 6, 2021, insurrection as peaceful protest or (ii) stating, suggesting, or presenting as credible a statement or suggestion that there was extensive election fraud that could have changed or actually changed the results of the 2020 presidential election. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is one of the reasons that Democrats take such a keen interest in the issue of education. They want to be in charge of who writes history and how it is taught.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tgp-post-above-comments\">\n<div class=\"adcovery-postbelow-01\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2026\/03\/virginia-democrats-moving-require-schools-teach-that-january\/\">Virginia Democrats Moving to Require Schools to Teach That January 6th Was an \u2018Insurrection\u2019<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Screencap of YouTube video.
