The state board approved new guidance for what Virginia students will learn in history and social studies classes from kindergarten through 12th grade.
from left-leaning politicians and education advocates for placing less emphasis on marginalized groups and offering few details on who contributed to the new standards. The document included errors such as a characterization of Indigenous people as “immigrants,” and omitted references to the Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth holidays.Former superintendent of public instruction Jillian Balow was directed by the board to resolve the errors and integrate content from the August draft.
The January draft resolved many of the errors. It included language that notes U.S. history is complicated and must be taught with nuance and mandates discussions of racism. After the rollout of the January standards, the board held six public hearings across the state. More than 750 parents, teachers, activists and students packed the meetings, and nearly 300 people spoke. More than 1,600 people submitted online public comment.
Now that the standards have been approved, the Education Department will have to develop a curriculum framework that serves as a more detailed companion document to the standards of learning. New textbooks aligning with the standards will also have to be approved. The new guidelines are expected to be fully implemented in school classrooms by August 2025.
