Youngkin's first executive order called for ending the use of "inherently divisive concepts" in public education.

Accordingly, the order calls for the Superintendent of Public Instruction to review and end any policies that "promote inherently divisive concepts.".

Additionally, the Superintendent of Public Instruction is tasked with reviewing all Department of Education guidelines, websites, best practices, and other materials produced by the department that promotes or endorses divisive or inherently racist concepts." Youngkin said any elements that are found should be removed

"The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall review all changes made to the Commonwealth of Virginia’s public education curriculum within the last 48 months to identify inherently divisive concepts, including concepts or ideas related to Critical Race Theory, and initiate, through the regular curriculum re-evaluation process, changes that will replace them with concepts and lessons that ensure all Virginia students are taught to respect all individuals regardless of their race, sex, or faith," the order reads

That order also calls for the Superintendent of Public Instruction to issue a report within 90 days to the Secretary of Education and Youngkin showing ways to close the “achievement gap” in K-12 education and make sure "all students are graduating high school career and college ready."
