To our readers,
In 2020, a study from the National Center for Science Education graded Virginia’s state science standards for climate change with a failing grade — “F.” Notably, compared to neighboring states, Virginia was the only one with a failing grade. In short, Virginia is facing one of the greatest regional threats of climate change, yet we have the least comprehensive state plan to educate citizens about it. In response to this obvious failure, the Virginia legislature recently created a bill which would require the Virginia Board of Education to provide local public school boards with instructional materials on climate change and environmental literacy. Laudably, the bill passed the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates this spring and is currently awaiting Governor Glenn Youngkin’s response by April 8th. In short, this bill should be applauded as a step in the right direction which can and should be built upon. Comprehensive climate education represents a way to teach future generations about the threat of climate change which will, in turn, enable them to mitigate its impacts and solve future crises.
In the 1960s and 70s, the women’s rights movement and the gay rights movement began to create safe spaces. These spaces were then incorporated into the daily life of universities as both clearly delineated physical spaces and identity-based student organizations. Over the past few years, however, these spaces have become increasingly politicized as conservatives critique what they incorrectly perceive to be the institutional pampering of Gen-Z snowflakes. It is undeniably clear that conservatives have misunderstood the nature and mission of safe spaces — they are not bubble wrap for “sheltered” students. Rather, they carve out places in which different identity-based groups experience the support which has always been afforded to white heterosexual men in all other spaces.
