Democrat Tim Kaine's Wife Denounces Declaration of Independence, Constitution as 'Fundamental in Enshrining Slavery'
[BREITBART] Anne Holton, wife of U.S. Sen. Tim KaineHillary's running mate in 2016. Remember him? (D-VA), denounced the Declaration of Independence and Constitution as "fundamental in enshrining slavery." Holton made the comments as Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R) new history standards were approved 5-3 by the Commonwealth’s Board of Education, upon which she sits. "To an audience as inclusive as our Virginia is, you cannot reference the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as ’remarkable documents’ without also acknowledging that they [are] fundamental in enshrining slavery, and limiting the protections that they provided only to white property-owning men," she said. Holton also served as Virginia’s Secretary of Education under former Gov. Terry McAuliffe ... If you constructed what a political boss looks like, it would be him.... (D), who tanked his own campaign against Youngkin by making anti-parent remarks regarding the education of the Commonwealth’s children. The history standards were written at least in part to correct disinformation and anti-America propaganda injected into the curriculum through the use of Critical Race Theory  ...teaches that skin color is the most important characteristic of any person, which translates to separate but equal with a different bunch in charge. All whites and Asians are born racist and racism permeates every aspect of society, which should be dismantled and the remains turned over to the kind of dipshit who pushes this nonsense... — something Youngkin ran on during his campaign. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... the unveiling of those standards had a rocky start, with the initial revision facing severe backlash and a rejection by the same school board. Youngkin acknowledged of the initial standards that there were "omissions and mistakes." The new standards, which were approved to move toward a public comment period, will likely see revisions in April. Youngkin board appointee Andy Rotherham — who was appointed to the board by Sen. Mark Warner (D) when he was governor — said that it was "good work" but that the document needed improvement. He believes ultimately that the board needed to "get this to the public." "Come April, for me to feel good, there’s going to have to be a chance to render improvements," Youngkin board appointee and former Salem City Schools superintendent Alan Siebert said. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... in a Richmond Times-Dispatch piece written by the Virginia superintendent of public instruction and executive officer of the Virginia Board of Education, Jillian Balow argued that the new standards reinvigorate history and civics as central to the American and Virginian identity. "American history and the tenets of our founding documents are not trivia to be Googled when needed and then quickly forgotten," she wrote. "There is an increased emphasis on civics, beginning in the early elementary grades," she continued. "As students advance, they learn about the vision of our Founding Fathers and its relevance today. George Washington is again ’The Father of Our Country’ and James Madison is again ’The Father of the Constitution.’" Related: Tim Kaine: 2023-01-22 Senate Dems support full investigation into Biden document scandal: 'Irresponsible and disturbing'; DOJ secrtly got Biden permission to do search; classified docs Biden took when U.S. Senator found in new search Tim Kaine: 2021-12-27 Introducing the Leftist Loser of the Year Tim Kaine: 2021-11-15 Amid supply-chain logjams, infrastructure bill allocates $250M to target truck emissions at ports Posted by: Fred 2023-02-06 |
