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.

Mandatory "Cultural competence training" every 2 years is a very sneaky way to compel Virginia teachers to incorporate Critical Theory and/or Critical Race Theory into their curriculum.  This is insidious.  Teaching our kids to evaluate each other based on their skin color, or their sexual preferences or their ethnicity, is criminal.  Those who support this toxic ideology are not interested in diversity nor are they interested in tolerating differing points of view.  This is totalitarian Marxism at it's core, which has never brought peace..but rather hatred, suffering and strife.  Reject this insanity and start over.
