Elementary school teachers must now embrace DEI principles to get hired at many public schools: study

A new report from the National Opportunity Project reveals that school districts across America – in red and blue states alike – are now considering teachers’ social and political views alongside instructional qualifications during the hiring process.

New research makes clear that public school districts nationwide are prioritizing adherence to woke ideologies when determining who can teach our children.

Here is what NOP found: Applicants in the Denver Public School system for an elementary art teacher position must: “Lead for racial and educational excellence and work to dismantle systems of oppression and inequity in our community…”

In Georgia, City Schools of Decatur require hiring teams to be staffed for racial and gender equity by “ensur[ing] that there is at least one person of color and one woman or gender-fluid individual on the interview panel. Individuals who embody other aspects of diversity should be included as well.”

-snip

It’s no wonder far-left political viewpoints now course through much of America’s public school systems; the application process is designed to weed out anyone who thinks differently or is independent-minded.

In Fairfax County, Virginia, applicants to the public school district are asked, “What does equity mean to you? How do you plan to keep equity at the center of your classroom?” Responses that show strong agreement with DEI concepts such as “equity journey,” “equity work,” and “understanding that race is a social construct” are rated more highly on a scoring rubric.

-snip

The National Opportunity Project’s investigation found that candidates for teaching positions must “demonstrate a commitment to social justice, equity, excellence and high expectations for all students.”

The district’s equity pledge even spurred the creation of Advanced Placement Calculus classes segregated by race.

We are decades overdue for gutting the education system in
this nation.

There are a whole lot of pedophiles who need to be separated
from our kids, in perpetuity.

Propagandists as well...

school boards are elected yet most voters don’t participate. It is a very local issue.

This is one of N reasons, where N is a very large number, why parents who care about their children should not only avoid ‘publik skoolz’ but insist on their complete destruction and demand deportation of every woke ‘eddikator’.

STAT

If it wasn’t for white elementary school teachers, Kwanzaa wouldn’t even be a thing.

I agree, and it’s time for the Republican party to either
stand up, or disband.

As it is, it’s a total fraud on the American public.

Things like performance standards and rules of behavior.

in red and blue states alike

Location makes no difference. The pipeline for teachers and school administrators is same everywhere. They are indoctrinated in the college degree programs that are 99% Marxist. It is impossible to fully staff a school with graduates from Hillsdale or the very few Christian schools that are still really Christian.

Public education is the perfect job for commies. Short hours. Great vacations. Good benefits. Great pay. No accountability. Tenure makes it impossible to get fired. A lot of free time to riot. Public school teaching is the job of choice for Antifa.
