Programs such as critical race theory, diversity equality and inclusion, Title IX (boys in girls sports), and social-emotional theory are dividing and harming students. Students are treated as victims (focused on differences and trauma) rather than proud Americans (things that have in common with other students and gratitude). The joke in schools is that you are a protected class if you have a label. It teaches students (and adults) to create a label so they don’t need to be responsible for their actions. They can do whatever they want to. Eliminate federal spending that promotes such ideology. Bring back merit and effort. Celebrate real achievements and promote healthy, balanced work in every classroom. Such a policy would include:
- Parents as Partners in the Learning Process (not enemies)
*Highly qualified, certified teachers, counselors, and leaders (including superintendents) - eliminate shortages by becoming more professional, not less
*Academic Excellence Awards & Effort Based Recognition (promote the best and brightest to further education/career in areas of strengths)
*Achievement Showcases (Be first in innovation and education)
*Co and Extra Curricular opportunities and choice, including service learning (instead of adding more requirements to basic education provide more choice in co/extra-curricular opportunities)
