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.

Commenter: Daniel Latham, E.P.I.C. empowering children, inspiring parents

No to racial essentialism
 

Our public education system needs it's a hard course correction and to refocus on primary education subjects. Reading, writing, arithmetic, science and history.   So long as the public education system ventures into the realm of morals and value systems I'll use systems it will always come into conflict with the parents.  Indeed half of the country does not agree with the moral and value system being pushed by the Virginia Department of Education.
