[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools in Northern Virginia will need to stop pushing the current DEI indoctrination, and other racist nonsense, or risk losing all federal funding.

No more using the false 1619 Project; no more Ibram X. Kendi “textbooks,”  etc.[/quote]

In order to stop they would have had to start.  [/quote]

Legit first sentence on the ACPS homepage: "[b]ACPS places racial equity at the center of everything that we do as a school division.[/b]" Naw, nothing to see here. SMH

Again, TYPE IT. Type it out and tell us why you don't want to center racial equity. Admit it. Come clean. You'll feel good. [/quote]

I’ll take [u]learning[/u] for $500, Alex. Learning should be at the center of everything  ACPS does as a school division.

+1. Education should be at the center of what every school system does. [/quote]

How is APS's pledge to center racial equity in everything they do somehow mutually exclusive of APS's commitment to learning? You can have both? We do understand that learning that is not a monolith, yes? (I know you don't, because racism is a sign of a week mind, but you could...). [/quote]

It’s ACPS, not APS. I guess they could focus on both, but that’s not what their statement says. It doesn’t say it’s “very important,” it says it’s at the center. Usually just one thing is at the center, and I think it’s weird for a school system to list anything besides education as its primary focus. But oh well. [/quote]

An apple centers its seeds; that doesn’t diminish the apple. An educational system can center equity; that doesn’t diminish the educational system. Equity is a crucial facet, not a competing identity.[/quote]
