[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article reflects how cult-like the new equity religion can get.  Not sure there is any way to turn things around in FCPS because we unwittingly elect people who largely buy into this, and in turn they hire people like Dr. Reid who have risen through the ranks by being good acolytes.

Who is running these initiatives in FCPS? Where are they getting any proof that this is beneficial when there are results all of the US that says it doesn't help and hurts everyone? I think it's funny they call out the minimizer when that's exactly what that PTA mom was doing.[/quote]

This is probably coming from Reid since closing the gap is her main objective. We need a SB that won't hire someone like this. The FCPS "grading for equity" and "navigating resistance" syllabus is found here: [url]https://defendinged.org/incidents/fairfax-county-public-schools-provides-teachers-with-training-on-grading-for-equity-explains-that-parents-asking-for-data-is-a-lack-of-willingness-to-accept-the-narrative-in-the-numbers/[/url]

The presentation categorizes people who resist into “thinker,” “doer,” “believer,” “fairness-seeker,” and “minimizer.” For the “thinker,” the presentation states: “Resistance from the Thinker comes in a variety of ways, all with the same foundational formula: a request for ‘proof’ and the data to back it up.” Teachers are then told: “As the facilitator, have a few data points or research citations prepared.” If the “thinker” continues to persist, the presentation explains: “The data has been there for generations; needing ‘more’ of it is a lack of willingness to accept the narrative in the numbers.”
