FURIOUS parents have blasted a school in America's wealthiest county for allegedly "infecting" kids with race lessons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parents in Loudoun County, Virginia are calling for members of a school board to be dismissed after they reportedly pledged to introduce Critical Race Theory into classes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Parents of the group "Fight for Our Schools" allege that the board is intent on "infecting our schools with critical race theory", Mail Online reports.<\/p>\n

Critical race theorists maintain that legal institutions in the US "function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially\u00a0African Americans," as defined by Britannica.<\/p>\n

Board members have been accused of "plotting war" against parents in the county who oppose it. <\/p>\n

At a school board meeting, one parent alleged: \u201c[Critical race theory] is not an honest dialogue \u2014 it is a tactic used by Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan on slavery very many years ago to dumb down my ancestors so we could not think for ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Critical race theory] is racist, it is abusive, it discriminates against one\u2019s color."<\/p>\n

She added: "Let me educate you: An honest dialogue does not oppress. An honest dialogue does not implement hatred or injustice."<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The furious parent urged the school board to grow a backbone and "to think twice before you indoctrinate such racist theories".<\/p>\n

Another said the school board had made Loudoun County \u201cground-zero\u201d in the fight against CRT but warned that parents would win the \u201cfight\u201d.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cEvery single one of these parents would step in front of a train for their kids, and they will step in front of you too.<\/p>\n

"This is the fight of our lives. We are going to go the distance, and at the end of the day, we are going to win."<\/p>\n

Monica Gill, an Advanced Placement Government Teacher in the county, told Fox News that the notion of critical race theory had \u201cdamaged\u201d the community.<\/p>\n

Interim Superintendent Scott A. Ziegler denied that the board is trying to "indoctrinate" students, but rather provide a more inclusive community.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It comes just weeks after a school board in South Lake, Texas won an election to stop \u201ccritical race theory\u201d and a new \u201ccultural competence action plan\u201d from being forced into classes.<\/p>\n

Opponents of CRT classroom integration claimed the school district were calling for the "diversity police," and that the board was pushing a \u201cleft-wing agenda,\u201d\u00a0the Dallas Morning News\u00a0previously reported.<\/p>\n

Two school board positions, as well as mayor and city council seats, went to opponents of the plan at the contentious poll.<\/p>\n

Southlake Families PAC tweeted: \u201cCritical Race Theory ain\u2019t coming here.<\/p>\n

"This is what happens when good people stand up and say, not in my town, not on my watch."<\/p>\n

Radio host Dana Loesch said that \u201cparents showed up\u00a0and fought back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legislators in Arizona pointed the finger at "critical race theory"\u00a0in 2012\u00a0in order to crack down on ethnic studies – a curriculum on Latino and Mexican-American history offered in the state's public schools where 45 per cent of students are Latino.<\/p>\n
