An article by Liv Finne at the Washington Policy Center. The legislature is set to start its next scheduled session in January.

Leftists Say Critical Race Theory Isn’t Being Taught in Schools, But in Seattle, They Aren’t Even Hiding It….Is it already here in Clark County?
From The Western Journal and C. Douglas Golden a story of the implementation of CRT in Washington State. But wait...you think it isn't showing up in Camas and Vancouver and other SWW school districts? It's called my many names...dig into your district and you'll find it. Now...what will you do about it? It’s the party line on critical race theory: It’s just a legal theory that’s being used in academia, and it’s definitely not being taught in our schools.

How Far Will They Go to Silence Parents?
