While teachers aren’t required to discuss racial equity, specifically, they can still choose to include the history of race or social justice in their own classrooms. The Washington State Board of Education recently announced plans to add an ethnic studies graduation requirement.
Bethany Spinler, the principal of Bellevue Big Picture School, said she is unsure if there are required teaching standards on race.
Although teachers aren’t required to teach about race and equity in their classes, they do go through mandatory diversity training, which covers implicit bias, anti-discrimination, inclusion and cultural responsiveness. In the Bellevue School District, teachers are required to attend one full day of training every three years, according to the teachers union’s collective bargaining agreement.
Why are you afraid of these things being mentioned in the class room?
There is no organized force mandating CRT being taught.
Your Lenin reference is cute.
