Washington State Mandates Critical Race Theory In All Public Schools.....

[countryboy]

Interestingly Washington State is a whopping 3.7% African American. There are three times as many Asians in the state and they are considered privileged as well. I do business with a company in Port Townsend WA which he has referred to as The People's State of Port Townsend. That city has an overwhelming black population of 57 out of just over 10,000 total.

Thank God for Ron Desantis and the Florida legislature who has outlawed the teaching of CRT in Florida public schools.

Washington is obviously a systemically racist state. I guess the libs were right, we do have a systemic racism problem.

The OP leaves out this video of materials to be used in Washington.




It abounds in lies.

The first is "race" + "ism" means system, -isim means system, implying systemic racismi. But ism means system of thought, system of principles, not an educational system, justice system. See https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ism.

IOW, they twist words around like some lefties on this forum do.

This might be an attempt to not have the schools burned down.

Inslee signed the bill into Law May 5th.



Washington Gov. Inslee Signs Bill Requiring Critical Race Training For Public School Teachers

“The legislature plans to continue the important work of dismantling institutional racism in public schools and recognizes the importance of increasing equity, diversity, inclusion, antiracism, and cultural competency training throughout the entire public school system….”


On May 5, Governor Jay Inslee of Washington signed Senate Bill 5044 into law, which requires Critical Race Theory (CRT) training for all school staff, board directors, teachers, and administrators in public schools across the state.


The Senate Early Learning & K-12 Education Committee introduced Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5044 in December 2020. The final version, amended by the House, says:


(a) Identify model standards for cultural competency;

(b) incorporate these cultural competency standards into both the standards for effective teaching and the standards of practice for paraeducators;

(c) develop cultural competency training programs for school district staff from paraeducators to administrators; and

(d) develop a plan for the creation and delivery of cultural competency training for school board directors and superintendents.




The bill requires all school boards to adopt cultural competency standards for board member training and board policies:

The Washington state school directors’ association shall:
(a) Develop cultural competency, diversity, equity, and inclusion standards for school director governance;


(b) Collaborate with the Washington professional educator standards board to compare and align the standards for school director governance developed under (a) of this subsection with the standards of practice developed under RCW 28A.410.260. The review must include the educational opportunity gap oversight and accountability committee and may include the office of equity established under RCW 43.06D.020.

This follows Inslee’s approval of Senate Bills 5227 and 5228, which requires public colleges and medical schools, respectively, to develop CRT curriculum. SB 5228 claims to tackle “structural racism in healthcare.”.....snip~

Prominent black, Hispanic, and Jewish leaders are speaking out against this racial training curriculum as harmful to their children.
• The bills violate the Washington Civil Rights Act, which provides: “The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.”
• The bills violate the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of “equal protection of the laws” to all citizens, regardless of race, ethnicity or national origin.
• The bills violate workers’ First Amendment rights by compelling speech in mandatory training sessions, or by suppressing their legitimate views and opinions.
• The bills would create hostile work environments in Washington’s public schools, public universities, and public medical schools.
• The bills would promote feelings of fear, alienation, and rejection in students and teachers because official policy would judge them based on appearance rather than their work experience or abilities.
Enacting a government policy of judging others by their appearance will likely lead to more conflict and legal challenges in the state’s public education system.


Entire states like Oregon, California, and New Jersey now legally mandate racist and anti-American curricula in social studies and other domains. Oregon, for example, tells social studies teachers to undermine “Eurocentrist narratives” as part of the state’s newly mandated “ethnic studies” curricula in social studies. Teachers are now required to apply race and ethnicity tests to what they teach in social studies, to “decenter whiteness” and “center the experiences and perspectives of people of color.”


With states going in opposite directions and the Biden administration promising to create federal mandates for CRT in public schools, the war for control over public education in America seems poised to escalate......snip~

Let the escalation begin. When the Political left discovers their own kind pulling their students out of public education and the political left gets less money. Then lets see what they got to say.

Another example of the left-wing locust eating away at our country.

Outside of King county and two or three other ultras left wing areas, parents are going to rebel against this. I'm sure that some districts will defy this.

I was hoping there was some legal recourse to protect these children.

In far too many States and communities there are enough WOKE idiots (many not parents) who vote for the people who implement this CRT garbage and have a "Feel good" at the expense of others!
