Loudoun County has been the center of DEI clown world for quite a while now, and stories range from the horrible to ones like this that are just plain dumb.

Yes, a teacher at Riverside High School is under investigation because he distributed a piece of raw cotton for students to examine, while giving a lesson about the invention of the cotton gin and slavery.

I had a history teacher who conducted this exact exercise, and the tactile reinforcement has helped me remember the lesson he taught that day, even all these years later.

(But I went to school back in the days when folks still thought racism was wrong and that skin color didn’t matter.)

Today, some students in the teacher’s class felt that cotton is evil, and they reported the teacher for racism.

(I’m guessing they would all be horrified if they read the tags on their T-shirts).

In a letter sent to parents Friday, Principal Doug Anderson said ‘lessons of this nature may cause students to feel any number of emotions,’ adding ‘some students in the class may have used the situation as a way to act in an insensitive manner.’

‘This is not what we are trying to accomplish in our classrooms and we will endeavor to do better,’ Andersen wrote in the letter. ‘Every individual is valued in Loudoun County Public Schools.’

The Loudoun County Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Department was called in to revise the ~~history courses~~ indoctrination to avoid future trauma.

Going forward, they also intend to notify parents ahead of time of any lessons that might contain sensitive topics like cotton, which will likely include all topics except gender transitions.
