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.

Culturally Responsive Education
 

Culturally Responsive Education is CRT in practical application, and has no place in our schools.  This absolutely should not be used to evaluate teachers. This application is anti-American, through and through. It is rooted in Marxist principles, critical theory, black nationalism, and anti-Semitism. It violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as well as the Bill of Rights.  

 

Education in this state has significantly decreased over the years. Additional education and support for the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic need to desperatelybe addressed, not political ideologies. STOP attempting to program the younger generation this garbage. Teachers have a difficult enough time teaching the CORE subjects to many of our students without adding the unnecessary elements of this agenda.  Teachers should simply teach children how to read, write, do math, and especially HOW TO THINK critically, not what to think. Literacy curriculum and math curriculum in Virginia is woefully inadequate. DO BETTER.
