Backlash Grows on Removing DEI Standards from GA Teacher Training

Backlash Grows on Removing DEI Standards from GA Teacher Training
For her master's thesis at Northwestern College, Deanna Cuffee wrote: "Because diversity continues to grow across our country and in our schools, it is imperative educators understand the role culture plays in education today and how they can meet the needs of a diverse student population."
Educator training programs in Georgia would not contain diversity, equity and inclusion terms, if the Georgia Professional Standards Commission decides this month to remove them.
Groups are voicing concerns about it, both for teachers and students. The changes would affect all educators up to Grade 12, from principals and superintendents, to reading specialists and school counselors. The proposal would remove terms like "equitable," and use words like "unique" or "different" instead of "diverse."
Mikayla Arciaga, Georgia director of advocacy and education for the Intercultural Development Research Association, said the result would diminish the evidence-based training teachers want, and create obstacles for addressing student needs.
"It's a politicization of something that should not be political, which is that every classroom should feel safe for every child," Arciaga asserted. "And so, to walk away [from] that language that explicitly said, 'We will serve you regardless of these things,' we're inherently swapping that out for a more deficit-focused lens. I think it has just, like, inherently negative implications."
Proponents of the changes say they are crucial to prevent misinterpretation or confusion about the language, thus better equipping new educators. But Arciaga contended teachers can better serve students from diverse backgrounds if they focus on cultural responsiveness.

Teachers, it's not about what you want. Your job is to teach kids HOW to think, not WHAT to think.

Instead of coming to America and learning American culture and values, our local communists have declared immigration their "cover" for implementing a teaching program. This program plants the seeds of communism that eats away at American history and culture like a cancer so the nation can be stolen.
Just like climate alarmism. Fake cover for stealing taxpayer money and shrinking our quality of life and personal freedoms. Slowly the "noose" around America's neck shrinks.
