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.

cultural competence = CRT... just say no!

I urge you to strike down any form of CRT and cultural competency training requirements. Let's look at the ideology behind these theories and programs. Are they really good for our children? Is this helping and unifying our community? I believe there are much better ways to invest this time and energy in serving and loving others and helping our communities in practical ways.
