[quote=Anonymous]Does FCPS really think that parents do not teach their kids these types of things?  How do you develop empathy in an English class?  How about reading a book-and there are plenty--that illustrates struggles that people go through to succeed:  loss of a parent; hunger; homelessness; etc.  No need to personalize it. Seems to me that would be more appropriate in an English class--and it doesn't need to address grievance politics.

History?  Slavery and Jim Crow are covered--and you don't need to have CRT to do it.  They have been taught for many, many years--and it does not need to be personalized as many wish it today.

I was a teacher.  I haven't taught in years--but I suspect I know what happened with the "underground railroad" game in Loudoun.  Teachers were likely told that they ALL (including PE teachers) has to teach these concepts.  I'm betting that's why they came up with such an inappropriate "game."  Administrators come up with requirements without considering that it may not work with all classes.
What would be a better requirement?  Just be sure all kids are included in activities.  Be sure all kids are respectful of others.
