Virginia's new Republican governor, who banned critical race theory in schools, is launching a tip line for parents to report their kids' teachers
sankel@businessinsider.com (Sophia Ankel) - 5h ago


    Virginia's newly elected governor banned teaching critical race theory in his first month in office.
    Gov. Glenn Youngkin promoted a government email to which parents could report teachers.
    He said parents can report public-school teachers if they believe they're "behaving objectionably."

Virginia's newly elected Republican governor, who has banned critical race theory in public schools, is launching a tip line to report teachers of "divisive subjects."

In a Monday interview with the conservative radio host John Fredericks, Gov. Glenn Youngkin said parents could email the state government to report any public-school teachers they believed to be "behaving objectionably."

Youngkin said: "We're asking for folks to send us reports and observations that they have that will help us be aware of things like privilege bingo, be aware of their child being denied their rights that parents have in Virginia. And we're going to make sure we catalog it all.

I don't generally care for snitch lines, but since this is the govt and not private citizens it's far more defensible to have the reason being to keep the govt in check.

I have the same sentiments about snitch lines, but the best watchdogs of government services are those the service is provided for/to. That doesn't mean there isn't a possibility these will be abused, even by the Leftists. Just being investigated can be a brutal experience for the wrongfully accused.

Collecting evidence for upcoming legal battles... pretty smart actually.

True, but this isn't necessarily a snitch line.  It's more like an ombudsman's line where customers can complain to management about poor service from an employee.  That's all about advancing customer service, not creating a snitch line.
