So ironic, coming from the party who came up with these BS phrases: "equity-focused" "equity-lens" "culturally responsive" "identity characteristics" "institutionalized racism" "dismantling systemic oppression" "intentionally built learning experiences" "systemic inequities" "personal equity journey" "equity audit" "actionable strategic equity-focused planning and implementation" (my personal fave) "stakeholder engagement" All this and more, brought to you courtesy of FCPS and The Leadership Academy. https://go.boarddocs.com/vsba/fairfax/Board.nsf/files/BTFRCZ6CA62E/$file/Final%20Anti-Racism%20Anti-Bias%20Curriculum%20Work%20Session%20Sept%2014%202020.pdf https://www.leadershipacademy.org/our-work/ |
Terrible trolling. Not even a good effort. |
And I can't tell you how glad I am to live in Virginia and not NJ! Wow. ![]() |
Are the words too big for you? The concepts too complex? What’s your deal here? Are you so snowed in propaganda that you’ve just never heard of any of this? |
Agree! |
Not one of those things harms anyone. Bias is real and is embedded in institutions. Asking people to be aware of it and mitigate its effects is not punishment. |
Democrat here - I’m having trouble even imagining how one of my child’s teachers could “violate my fundamental rights.” And, not everything children do should be respected. Also, who decides what is “inherently divisive”? |
Oh yes those terms are so scary! Those are the same terminology used in marketing and business every day. It is amazing someone with no understanding of the historical use of terms like indoctrination, thought crimes, turning disloyal citizens over to the NKVD, Gestapo or the red guard, etc would seek to control what is taught in schools. You and youngkin’s secret agenda is very frightening. |
MAGA |
Kudos to you. The kids you educate will be wiping the floor with the hillbillies from Virginia. Please ask your kids to remember, when they’re running the world, that we’re not all deranged fools down here. |
![]() Those phrases are simply empty words that mean nothing. But I know they help make people like you feel virtuous and enlightened. Talk about propaganda - you and others pushing this nonsense embody propaganda-pushers. |
Better ask "Khashoggi's Ghost" what she thinks since it's clear you can't formulate an original thought. |
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher in NJ and I am so glad that I don't live in Virginia! In my school we are actively encouraged to have 'tough talks' about race. We have trainings about it. We have a core group of teachers that meet once a month to talk about these issues. We have our own book club that we can choose to participate in to read and discuss books about race. And guess what? Every teacher in these groups is WHITE, including myself. The school population is about 60% White, with the remainder primarily Black and Hispanic and a small percentage of Asian. Mixed race families are comfortable in the district. We have no interest in pretending that life in the US is without racial tension, discrimination, prejudice, and microaggressions. We believe in teaching our students how to communicate about race with the support of adults in the room.
I am disgusted by how many people seem to think that the comfort level of White kids is so important. I am NOT talking about the teachers that make the news with actions and words that they should have know better to do or say. I'm talking about [b]the daily good people out there who want to see ALL kids succeed in a diverse society. This isn't bias, it's decent humanity. It's not indoctrination, it's dealing with the real society that we live in.[/b] [/quote] Agree! [/quote] Kudos to you. [b]The kids you educate will be wiping the floor with the hillbillies from Virginia. Please ask your kids to remember, when they’re running the world, that we’re not all deranged fools down here.[/b] [/quote] Please move to NJ. A$$holes who say things like this really need to stick together.[/quote] Nah, I like it here. And I will educate my kids on how to survive and succeed in the 21st century. You keep fighting that war of northern aggression in your head. |
What is the hotline to report teachers who don't grade papers until the last week of the quarter? |
