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.

Indoctrination for disaster, forcing a worldview
 

CRT is a very thinly veiled attempt to inject Marxist philosophy and racism into the classroom. It is a way to indoctrinate children in worldview thinking which has no place in education. Parents are the ones who should teach their children values and worldview theology. The schools exist to train children in READING, WRITING and ARITHMETIC. At the elementary level this is GRAMMAR, in middle school this is DIALECTIC and in high school this is RHETORIC. There is NO PLACE for CRT in such learning and the idea of forcing this on teachers, students and parents is nothing short of brainwashing and attempted thought control. It will be the ruin of any respectful society that currently exists. Please refrain from interfering with parental authority any further.
