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.

Keep your racism to yourself, it's not welcome in our schools.
 

Re-titling CRT as "cultural awareness training" isn't fooling anyone. 

This is the government sanctioned promotion of racially divisive theories. This doesn't make anyone more culturally aware, it lays down the political narratives that one side wants to force onto our children. This disgusting attempt to tell our teachers that they have to teach children or treat children differentlay based solely on race is an abomination and the person who proposed this should resign IMMEDIATELY! I do not support this in ANY way nor will I support anything that treats one race differently than another, a clear violation of the Civil Rights Act.
