Locker Room

In the midst of a global pandemic that has left our teachers stretched thin, our schools in limbo, and our parents struggling to balance unprecedented circumstances, CISD has spent precious time and resources setting up a district diversity police instead of focusing on classroom and virtual curriculum. CISD parents should have the opportunity to provide input on this costly and invasive new policy. 

​

This proposal is bad for students. It would...

​

  • Mandate social justice training as a requirement for graduation

  • Create a diversity police - denying due process of students and teachers - creating an environment where you are guilty until proven innocent of 'microaggressions' 

  • Cost close to $3 million over the next 10 years while not being approved by the voters

  • Inhibit the ability to always hire the most qualified teachers by prioritizing race over experience

  • Create an additional burden on our teachers by pulling them away from teaching core subject matters

  • Require students and teachers to take a "cultural competence test" that can be used for shaming and discipline 

  • Require the school district to host community events which could potentially impact the right to freedom of religion for both students and teachers

  • Use social justice audits to modify award-winning curriculum
