Guidance Document Change: In 2021, the Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 1904 and Senate Bill 1196, and was signed into law by Governor Northam. The law establishes new requirements to support culturally competent educators in the Commonwealth. The Guidance on Cultural Competency Training for Teachers and Other Licensed School Board Employees in Virginia Public Schools was developed for the Board to fulfill the statutory mandate to provide guidance on the minimum standards for the local training requirement.

VDOE Has No Right to Promote CRT
 

VDOE has no right to indoctrinate our teachers, administrators, and children with Critical Race Theory (CRT). CRT promotes:

…a Marxist worldview. Karl Marx believed revolution was the answer to industrial societies imbalance of power between capitalists and workers. Failed Marxist-style revolutions during the 20th century include China, Cuba, Cambodia, and the Soviet Union. 

…division between races in identifying certain people groups as good and evil. For example, Whites are seen as “oppressors” while African-Americans are classified as the “oppressed.”

 

…a societal dismantling of individualism into group identity and stereotyping. CRT is in direct opposition to the Declaration of Independence—the foundation of our government!
