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.

CRT IS BEST PRACTICE
 

Refusing to teach CRT is inherently racist. Being against CRT is racist. In our society white people do not experience racism because our society does not allow it. There is no reason to not teach about inclusive practices and the history of America. I’m proud of Virginia for making this law. It is crucial that we teach the next generation acceptance, and our history so it stops repeating. If the past two years are any inclination, we have not come veryy Darin 100 years so this is a great first step.
