Cultural competency should not be part of teacher licensure. Who determines what is cultural competent? There are so many cultures across the world and many cultures can be within races. We need to get back to basics and focus on actually ensuring our teachers can teach our students without political biases. Ensuring they can simply teach the subject and create an environment where our students strive for excellence.
