[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line: equity is a political loser.

I didn’t vote for Youngkin, but I will be supporting republicans as long as dems keep pushing this nonsense. [/quote]

Equity is a loser
Equity is nonsense

Wow.  Look at you.  You likely completely lack any ability to consider what things would be like if the roles were reversed and you were on the losing end instead of being on the winning end.[/quote]

Not that PP, but I believe the point is that this obsessive focus on "equity," rather than academics, is a losing proposition.  I would agree with that.  Just take a look at what's been going on in FCPS, and no doubt other public school systems across the US.  Enough already.  Stop spending gobs of money and resources on this nonsense and maybe instead, beef up the actual ACADEMICS.

Your use of the word “obsessive” is ridiculous.

Can we return to talking about how Ron DeSantis wants to ban AP curriculum from Florida schools because they’re too “woke?” What do you think of that? Personally I think that’s “hold my beer” territory. [/quote]

The use of the word "obsessive" is right on target, which you would know if you bothered to read any of the links from FCPS provided throughout this thread.  Teacher trainings and professional development days are devoted to "anti-bias/racism," and social justice initiatives.  Not to, say, beefing up academic instruction.  Nope.  That's entirely secondary (if that) to FCPS and so many other public school systems.  The focus now is on making sure "anti-bias" training is front and center in all aspects of school.  Forget about emphasizing reading, spelling, writing, grammar, math skills.

As for Ron DeSantis, I like much of what he's doing and think it's long overdue.  [/quote]

You realize that Fairfax County has a very diverse student body these days, right? As such, wouldn't training teachers to be able to address and manage the diversity be a good thing?[/quote]
