School Desk Critical Race Theory Riley Getty Images
<p>A Virginia mom&#8217;s says her 13-year-old son has changed since he learned about critical race theory, and now, she&#8217;s suing the school.</p>
<p>In an interview with &#8220;Jesse Watters Primetime,&#8221; Melinda Riley says she never had issues with her son before Albemarle School District introduced him to the &#8220;<a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=critical+race+theory&;post_type=post">anti-racism</a>&#8221; policy. Because of the information, Riley says her son now identifies as Black.</p>
<blockquote><p>We didn’t have issues before. He is in eighth grade. He&#8217;s seeing himself just as a Black man. He&#8217;s seeing things that don’t go his way as racism, and he is finding safety in numbers now.</p></blockquote>
<p>She also says that her son sees the world in a &#8220;negative way,&#8221; and he&#8217;s been &#8220;put into a box.&#8221;</p>

<p>Riley expressed that when he&#8217;s asked to do chores, her son is using racism &#8220;as an excuse because they have told him that that’s how people see him, as a Black man, that the world is against and [he] sees it as a negative now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Riley shared with Jesse that she expressed her concerns with the school, and alleges the school stated her son could be a &#8220;spokesperson&#8221; for the Black community.</p>
<p>The mother also said that the school stated if her son felt uncomfortable, he could talk about racial issues in a safe place. But Riley felt that was segregation.</p>
<blockquote><p>When I told them I didn’t think that that would be appropriate, they told me that if he was uncomfortable with the conversations, he and other children of color could go to a safe place during these conversations, and that’s segregation.</p></blockquote>
<p>Riley and other parents filed a lawsuit against the Albemarle School District in December. Her lawyer, Ryan Bangert, stated the school didn&#8217;t deny the curriculum and is &#8220;fighting back.&#8221;</p>
