No we do not and many schools don’t ask us to submit them in lesson plan format because that’s a huge waste of time. I’ve never had to submit lesson plans to anyone.

OP, please please please FOIA all CRT lesson plans in every school district across Virginia. Keep us posted.

Do teachers even have their lesson plans in document form already with handouts for 2021-2022? I'd imagine they are on beaches somewhere in Delmarva dreading school.

Then it should show up on the lesson Plans

Umm, if something isn't in the lesson plans, it will show up in them?

I think she means the lack of CRT will show up in the lessons, If the content is truly not there... Which we all know it won't be. This excitement around CRT has just been perpetuated by the right wing.

The true irony being OP has no clue what CRT is or what it looks like. The goal is only to pinpoint things they don’t like in lesson plans and call it CRT. Losers.

Yes please FOIA materials related to SEL and equity. Please do. Have a ball. It isn’t CRT and it isn’t going anywhere.

OP, try requesting materials/programs for "Social and Emotional Learning" aka what the school counselors are doing. They seem to have focused almost every session this past year talking about race, and seem to have done away with the usual topics they used to focus on.

Much of what I've seen in my kids' classrooms was not labeled CRT. Instead, I've noticed some of my kids' more motivated teachers (in addition to the counselors) coming up with their own CRT and BLM-inspired lessons during morning meeting. I would argue that the incessant emails talking about "equity," mirror talking points used by prominent Dem politicians. It is very clearly a political agenda.

Think of it this way. We can probably all agree that it's ok to teach kids about the tenets of the major religions, but declaring one to the be "right" one and weaving it into every subject would be objectionable to most everyone.. Clearly CRT and related views are decidedly falling into one political camp. It's simply not okay to choose what is clearly a highly politicized ideology of any kind and foisting it on our kids, whether it's CRT or Right to Life.

From a practical standpoint, the definition of "political" as it's defined in statute needs revision. Right now, VA statute only deems candidates and political parties to be "political" in the context of schools and what can be taught. With the myriad activist groups and 504cs that have developed over the years, this needs to be updated. Parents are savvy enough to detect when something has crossed into the "political" realm, and none of us want our kids to be indoctrinated.

The bottom line is, kids need a good education without a political agenda. Our kids will be competing with the best and brightest across the globe for jobs some day and what they need is a strong grounding in the ability to communicate effectively and handle high level math for fields like AI, finance, etc. Educators need to get back to basics and that will do more to serve underprivileged kids than any of these sessions.

Are you pulling every lesson for every grade? Good luck. Bahahahaha.

I know we are all just messing with OP but seriously: I don’t submit lesson plans to anyone. I don’t make them. Even if I did, there would be no central location to get them submitted to to then be FOIA’d. And then even if they were, what does OP think they’re gonna see? “Unit 1: Marxism indoctrination. Unit 2: white people are bad”?

+1, Exactly. I haven't written a lesson plan in 20 years.

So is FERPA. If you email it to the right person you should be okay

Every state has its own FOIA laws. I don’t know why you mention FERPA. A general lesson plan doesn’t fall under ferpa. Either way, there are no CRT lesson plans to FOIA. But I do hope OP spends a lot of money and fruitless time trying

Np. Foia costs the federal and state governments more to administer than they get back in fees. She’s just wasting tax payer dollars for no reason. I’d feel differently if she were a reporter or had an actual reason other than being a busy body.

They will bill her. I used to do this in my first job out of college. We’d request under the state’s FOIA law and the institution would tell us the cost to get it. If it was worth it to us we’d pay it. But if OP doesn’t pay he won’t get it. Also he can’t get it cause it doesn’t exist lol

I write my own lesson plans, not the district. There are no CRT lesson plans because my district has literally never told me a single word about critical race theory.

But by all means, keep tilting at windmills.
