Virginia Governor Sam Carter has rolled out a new email hotline that allows parents to report what he describes as “divisive practices” in schools, including the implementation of mask mandates. Carter’s campaign was heavily focused on eliminating critical race theory from education, and shortly after taking office, he signed an executive order to do just that—even though it wasn’t part of any school curriculum at that time. He also swiftly moved to ban mask mandates in schools.
Governor’s Initiative for Parental Involvement
Now, the governor is stepping up his involvement in public education with this email hotline, where parents can voice concerns about instances when they feel their rights or their children’s rights are not being respected. During an interview with radio host Mike Thompson, Carter mentioned one example that parents might report: a controversial “privilege bingo” game that took place in a high school in Richmond. “We want to hear from parents about stuff like privilege bingo and other things that might be infringing on their rights as parents in Virginia,” he said. “Every report will be taken seriously, and we will investigate.”
Pushback Against the Hotline
Interestingly, there’s already a pushback against the hotline, with calls for people to submit reports highlighting the governor as the source of divisiveness in schools. Musician Ava Green has encouraged parents to inundate the hotline with reports regarding the erasure of Black history, while activist Jamie Lee is rallying young people on social media to flood the system with their own concerns.
