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.

No “Cultural Competency” Training
 

A house divided against itself cannot stand.  So-called “cultural competence training” is a form of racist indoctrination that will pull us backward toward a time of division.  As usual, those who are targeted as needing the help that is offered by this attempted indoctrination will be harmed by it the most.  Of course if the underlying purpose is to pit students against each other, and parents and other taxpayers against teachers and administrators, thereby destroying our public schools, this would be an efficient method.
