This is a link to the survey.

There is more at the link but here is an example of what our schools are most concerned about.
Section 1: Current Experiences
To what degree do you agree with the following:
Strongly Agree Agree Disagree Strongly Disagree
3. Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) creates a welcoming environment for me.
4. People within FCPS care for me.
5. My multiple identities (racial, ethnic, gender, religious, etc.)are valued and affirmed within FCPS.
6. FCPS staff are equipped to teach about race.
7. FCPS staff are equipped to teach about racism.
8. FCPS staff are equipped to teach about multiple identities.
9. FCPS staff are equipped to teach about identity-based bias.
10. FCPS helps students develop positive self-identities based on their membership in multiple groups in society.
11. In FCPS, students are taught to value other people’s multiple identities.
12. I would be welcomed to help shape the FCPS curriculum if I wanted to.
13. The curriculum and teaching methods (or teaching practices) provided in FCPS are culturally responsive and free of bias.
14. Students have access to high quality teaching and learning opportunities in FCPS.
15. Students experience barriers to learning because of how the schools and school system are designed.
21. Teaching methods (or teaching practices) address race as often as they should.

23. Teaching methods (or teaching practices) address multiple identities as often as they should.
24. Teaching methods (or teaching practices) address identity-based bias as often as they should.
25. If FCPS staff discuss topics of race, racism, identity, bias with students, then staff members should have clear guidance from the district about how to teach those topics.
26. In discussions with students, staff should cover topics that relate to race, racism, identity, and bias in a similar manner as how they cover human rights issues.
27. It is important for curriculum materials (e.g., textbooks) to represent different races and identities with respect and without stereotypes.
28. The curriculum used in FCPS should teach students how to challenge power and privilege in society.
29. A curriculum and teaching methods focused on being anti-racist and anti-biased would support students’ academic excellence and accelerate learning.
30. If FCPS used a curriculum and teaching methods that were more inclusive of students’ identities, students would feel empowered.
31. If FCPS used a curriculum and teaching methods that were more inclusive of students’ identities, students would be better prepared for college and/or careers.
32. Teachers should have materials to guide them in creating anti-racist and anti-biased classroom environments.
33. The teaching methods (or teaching practices) used in FCPS should offer students ways to take action against racial and social injustice.
34. The FCPS curriculum should give students opportunities to recognize injustices that individuals create (e.g.,. biased-based beliefs and language).
35. The FCPS curriculum should give students opportunities to recognize injustices that systems create (e.g., discrimination and oppression).
So, if the question is “do they discuss racism enough” or whatever it may be, is the an response “too much”? Or is this survey completely rigged and worthless?
FCPS staff are equipped to teach about statistics?
FCPS staff are equipped to teach about the United States Constitution?
State sanctioned child abuse.
Have a friend who lives there. Private schools are bursting at the seems. Parents desperate to get into private schools
Thirty Five questions all repeating the same material.
What genius came up with this drivel?
Are they one of the school systems that has outlawed advanced math classes?
Asian discrimination?
Yes they are !
If: Comes from a publik skool
Then: Trash
Yes they are !
Agreed. There is no point in taking this survey. No matter what answer you give to these questions, they can turn it around and argue that it is a mandate for more indoctrination. Answer in the positive to any question, then you validate what they are doing. Answer in the negative, they take that as saying they have not done enough indoctrinating.
This survey was deviously devised by criminal leftists.
Don’t forget, ALL teachers, public, private, religious — they all come from the same college programs.
The goal of the left is to make it impossible for a teacher to finish her degree and get a teaching license without being a Leftist.
When I was a kidlet American schools were rated number one.
Not any more.
We are gonna pay a high price.
Ridiculous and outrageous. Where’s the concern for Algebra, literature, writing and rhetoric, lab science, history and government? Fairfax schools are on a mission to graduate ignorant fanatics.
