Doesn't really have a nice ring to it, but it bypasses the technicality argument that "such and such is or isn't actually taught in schools," when clearly it is tangible things like this that started the unfortunately named "Anti-CRT" movement.

I think there should be a transparent review about how this particular lesson formed, who came up with the idea, what steps did it go through to get approval, etc.

And, I don't know, maybe after that we could have an honest discussion about the pros and cons of including things like this in the curriculum? [/quote]

Ths is a district approved lesson for 10th graders enrolled in English (so all fcps 10th graders).

It had to go through many levels of approval and several sets of eyes before it touched the desk of a single student.

Content aside, is anyone else insulted for our 10th graders that this over simplistic, reads like a 1st year pedagogy theory assignment put together in 5 minutes, was what Gatehouse feels is as appropriate level of instruction for our fcps 15 and 16 year olds?  Do they not think our young adults 2 years from college are capable of having a thoughtful, nuanced, unbiased, age appropriate lesson plan?

The fact that a paid fcps employee came up with this juvenile,  biased assignment for our young adults with such obviously racist and sexist content, and passed it through whatever levels of approval such things go through, is a bit flabbergasting.

This is the level of work fcps is designing for our soon to be adults?[/quote]

Heavy-handed and simplistic are never mutually exclusive when it comes to FCPS these days. [/quote]
