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 to CRT and NO to cultural competency.

Please teach solid subjects- math, reading, writing. Consider giving students a classical education to prepare them to be responsible citizens. Read The Dying Citizen by Victor Davis Hanson. He teaches poor kids from different “tribes” at Cal State Fresno and provides a classical education. The kids are prepared for life. The proposed guidelines deprive students of thinking skills and teach them misperceptions.
