Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin Hires Diversity Director Who Called Critical Race Theory a ‘Dangerous Philosophical Poisoning’

Republican Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has just taken office, and he is already making left-wing snowflakes melt throughout his state.

Youngkin has hired Angela Sailor as Virginia’s new Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Sailor has described critical race theory as “the complete rejection of the best ideas of the American founding,” believing that CRT is “a dangerous philosophical poisoning in the bloodstream.”

Sailor serves as vice president of the Feulner Institute at the Heritage Foundation, and chief of staff to Kay Coles James, the President of the Conservative Research Institute.

Youngkin also signed an executive order directing his attorney general to investigate allegations of corruption and wrongdoing in Loudoun County’s education system, where school board members are accused of covering up a series of sex crimes committed by a cross-dressing student who has been convicted of a rape inside of a girl’s bathroom…

Youngkin assailed the divisive hatred of critical race theory in his inaugural address, recognizing that parents will always have a place in constructing the curriculum their children are educated with in state public schools.

Youngkin’s attorney general, Jason Minyares, also fired the state’s civil rights litigation unit, a group of progressive lawyers employed by his predecessors to wage leftist lawfare against the citizens of the commonwealth. Minyares is pledging to prosecute crimes that Soros-controlled progressive district attorneys are declining to prosecute, contravening local and...
