On this Guidance Document (Board of Education Guidance on Cultural Competency Training for Teachers and Other Licensed School Board Employees in Virginia Public Schools)

I respectfully request that this proposal be rejected. Whether you call it "cultural competency" or anything else, we want NO CRT IN ANY FORM imposed on our teachers, our students, our schools.  This cultural competence training is decisive and absolutely NOT inclusive. it is racist at it's core. This is not education.  This is social justice training. Trying to form the consciences of individuals is not the responsibility of the school system.  Teaching Cultural Values and mutual respect for others is the responsibility of parents, NOT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.  School do not have the right to interject the view of an institution on any child.  Schools need to remove any participation in political ideology and social engineering identity politics. Focusing on academics is the best way our school system can serve students in becoming successfull, contributing citizens in our society.
