To Emily Webb, Aimee Guidera, VA State Superintendent, and the VA Board of Education:
Please work to support the merged history standards for Virginia K - 12 classes that were developed and proposed by the Virginia Social Studies Leaders Consortium. It is important that all children in Virginia receive balanced, updated and accurate information about all communities, including those who have historically been mischaracterized, marginalized or ignored.
