The Loudoun County schools community has been racked by a fierce debate over what school officials say is an equity oriented program.
Many vocal members in the community – and some from outside the school district community – say the district is pushing a curriculum based on so-called critical race theory – a popular buzzword among conservative circles.
The sheriff’s office says that the Federal Bureau of Investigations had launched a parallel probe into the matter. The FBI said it had no intention, however, of levelling criminal charges.
