Blue County, Red Teacher: Reclaiming education in the Old Dominion
By Ramon Tomey // Mar 16, 2026

  • The book "Blue County, Red Teacher: Fighting Indoctrination in Virginia's Schools" points out that public education has been systematically overtaken by Marxist-rooted ideologies like Critical Race Theory (CRT) and gender fluidity under the guise of "equity" and "inclusion," sidelining foundational American principles.
  • Virginia's Fairfax County showcases this takeover, with school boards and teachers' unions pushing politicized curricula – such as the 1619 Project – that reframe history as oppression while lowering academic rigor with policies like "equity grading."
  • Teachers opposing these agendas face harassment, false allegations or even CPS investigations, while universities condition educators to view conservative values as "harmful" and neutrality as complicity.
  • Grassroots movements like Moms for Liberty are challenging school boards, homeschooling is surging, and states like Texas are passing laws banning CRT and protecting parental rights.
  • To counter this, parents must demand transparency, support alternative education, run for local office and teach foundational truths at home – because controlling education means controlling the next generation's worldview.

According to the book "Blue County, Red Teacher: Fighting Indoctrination in Virginia's Schools," the battle for America's future is being waged in classrooms across the Old Dominion. Progressive ideologies have systematically infiltrated public education under the guise of "equity" and "inclusion."

What was once a system designed to cultivate independent thought and civic virtue has been transformed into an engine of indoctrination, pushing Marxist-rooted doctrines like Critical Race Theory (CRT), gender ideology and radical social justice narratives. This isn't accidental – it's the culmination of a deliberate "long march through the institutions," a strategy pioneered by Marxist theorists Antonio Gramsci and Herbert Marcuse to reshape society by controlling cultural narratives from within.

Virginia's Fairfax County exemplifies this takeover. School boards, backed by teachers' unions like the National Education Association, have imposed curricula that frame American history as a litany of oppression while sidelining foundational principles like liberty, merit and constitutional rights.

The 1619 Project, now embedded in many districts, dismisses the Declaration of Independence as a hypocritical document and reduces the nation's legacy to slavery and systemic racism. Meanwhile, math and science are politicized with "social justice" word problems, and biology is distorted to accommodate gender fluidity – often without parental consent.

The Left's tactics are insidious. Incremental changes – revising textbooks, altering social studies standards or introducing "equity grading" that lowers academic rigor – seem minor in isolation, but collectively redefine education's purpose.

Teacher training programs, heavily influenced by leftist universities, condition educators to view neutrality as complicity and conservative values as "harmful." Dissenters face harassment, false allegations or even Child Protective Services investigations – as seen with teachers like Julie Perry, who was targeted for opposing CRT in Fairfax County.

Parents vs. propaganda: Why families are fleeing indoctrination

Parents, however, are waking up. The pandemic's virtual learning exposed many to the propaganda their children were absorbing, sparking grassroots resistance.

Groups like Moms for Liberty and local election integrity units are challenging school boards, filing Freedom of Information Act requests and running conservative candidates to reclaim oversight. Homeschooling and microschools are surging as families flee indoctrination, while states like Texas pass laws banning CRT and protecting parental rights.

The stakes couldn't be higher. This isn't just about education – it's about preserving the bedrock of American liberty.

The Left understands that controlling schools means controlling the next generation's worldview. To counter them, we must:

  • Demand transparency: Attend school board meetings, review curricula and expose ideological agendas.
  • Support alternatives: Homeschooling co-ops, charter schools and private academies break the public school monopoly.
  • Run for office: Local elections decide who controls curricula, hiring and policies.
  • Teach truth at home: Supplement with foundational history, critical thinking and financial literacy.

The Left's endgame is clear: a populace ashamed of its past, dependent on government and hostile to traditional values. But Virginia's parents and patriots are proving that resistance is possible.

The battle for America's soul starts in the classroom – and it's one we cannot afford to lose. Stand up, push back and reclaim education.
