Although I am opposed to the entire thrust of the Guidance, Domain IV is particularly distressing; specifically, licensed Professionals should "provide opportunities for students to be active contributors in solving relevant local, state, national and global challenges".  This is nothing more than permission for activist "Professionals" to radicalize their students by promoting activism over erudition. Pedagogy should be focused upon teaching students how to think, not what to think. Solving relevant local, state, national and global challenges presuppose a sufficient knowledge base to make informed decisions on those challenges. Students are by definition not sufficiently nor suitably educated to offer anything but publicity to potentially divisive public debates. In fact, most radicalized revolutionary movements throughout history have used students as pawns to push society into dangerous and destructive experiments (socialist/communist movements in Germany, Russia, China, Cuba, etc.). Turning students into activists is not the job of educators. This Guidance on Cultural Competency Training for Teachers is nothing more than an imprimatur to those most dangerous and radical elements of our school systems to radicalize students into their destructive behaviors and beliefs.
