Anonymous wrote:Public schools have many mission objectives they are asked to achieve. Those objectives might include:

1) Providing targeted academic instruction to the students with a goal of maximizing each student's educational attainment, and
2) Decreasing any differences in the educational attainment that exists between student groups when students are separately categorized on the basis of an immutable characteristic such as race, sex, ethnicity, gender, etc.

Parents that prioritize objective 1 may fear that schools have prioritized objective 2 and those parents may further be skeptical that objective 2 can be achieved concurrently with objective 1.

I think I'm hearing those parents ask that schools commit to objective 1 as the highest priority, and there is a perception that programs like VMPI do not commit to objective 1 as the highest priority (and, it is perceived, that the program either plainly states or suggests that it is not). Those parents may further perceive educators as dodging the question. People are angsty and its playing out here.

They made it obvious what they were considering, and the vast majority of us didn't want anyone who would even think it was a good idea to be involved with planning academics for our children. This appears to include you and I'm so glad you're out.

I feel the same way.

The end of VMPI is a triumph for the children of Virginia.

Thank you governor Youngkin!

Yes, a big win for the people who hate equity so much that they still despise an initiative that removed the equity aspect almost a year ago.

Equity is a worthy goal if you raise everyone’s standards and expectations, not if you kneecap the smart kids.
