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.

We don't need more division in our society and teachers don't need more meetings to attend
 

I fail to see where any of this would benefit the children or the teachers. Children are not getting enough attention to help them master the skills they will need to function in life as it is. And why put more stress on the teachers? They barely have enough time to deal with all the requirements put on them now.

Let's go back to the basics. Teach children that there is success based on hard work instead of skin color or background. Teach them how to read and apply concepts learned...how to do basic math and then how to balance finances. Hire more teachers and have smaller classrooms so teachers have a better chance to achieve success with their students. Scrap the tests and indoctrination. Stop dividing people with stupid curriculum like this.
