Virginia Dems mandate Jan. 6 be taught as ‘violent insurrection,’ ban election fraud claims in schools
Fox News
Virginia Democrats pass bill requiring public schools to teach January 6, 2021 Capitol riot as violent insurrection while prohibiting teachers from describing it as peaceful protest.
Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
HB 333, crafted by Del. Dan I. Helmer of Fairfax, bars public school programs from describing the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot as a peaceful protest or presenting claims that widespread election fraud altered the 2020 presidential results as credible. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
The bill specifically "prohibits" instruction that portrays the insurrection as peaceful or suggests there was "extensive election fraud" that could have changed the election outcome. However, it does not lay out any explicit criminal penalties for violations. Charles covers media, politics and culture for Fox News Digital.
