Conservative takeovers of local school boards have already altered lessons on race and social injustice in many classrooms. Now some districts are finding their broader efforts on diversity, equity and inclusion are also being challenged.
As her Colorado school district’s equity director, Alexis Knox-Miller thought the work she and a volunteer team were doing was on solid ground, especially with an audit in hand that detailed where the district was falling short in making sure all students had the same opportunities.
But in December, Knox-Miller reluctantly disbanded the equity leadership team after more than a year of meetings. New conservative members had won a majority on the school board after voicing doubts about the work, and she worried the efforts might not lead anywhere.
The new board says it will take up the issue in the spring.
“Around the time that the equity audit was being released, I realized that the tide had changed around diversity, equity and inclusion efforts,” Knox-Miller said. “People were conflating the definition of equity with critical race theory, and the absurd accusations that we were teaching critical race theory in classrooms to kindergartners began.”

PAUSE!
“People were(are) conflating the definition of equity with critical race theory...”,
And for very good reasons.
This will be a major issue in 2022. Go parents!
How is “equity” anything to do with anything healthy?
There is no expectation of “equity” in any US foundational documents and there is no way to make up for something having been “unequal” through favored advantage, now, in any fair way, based on perceived wrong of things possibly said or done hundreds of years ago.
My 4 kids have been in CA K-12 and college classrooms every year since 2001. It’s all the same—CRT and “equity” and other left wing crap and it just gets worse every year. (I pulled my last teen from public to private last year but her older brother still goes to Cal State which is the worst of all for that: he has to take global studies, diversity studies, AND ethnic studies. Computer science major.
Yes, Winning!
The “MOM REVOLUTION” is fighting a battle for America.
An “equity director”. Really? Well right there’s a way to save a hunert fifty grand a year.
It’s just code for communism.
“Diversity” = “Anti-White Racism”
Absurd. Uh-huh....
Diversity, equity and inclusion departments have led to a 10-1 liberal to conservative ratio of teachers in colleges.
“...where the district was falling short in making sure all students had the same opportunities”
As a country, WE NEED UNITY, NOT DIVERSITY!
A pause means nothing except: “until you turn your back”.
A total refutation is the minimum. A pledge upon taking the oath of office. If that is not required and achieved, YOU have been lied to, again.
Nobody can take advanced classes because that wouldn’t be fair to the slower kids.
The new “diversity” is just the old discrimination. You can take that to the bank. Caucasians, Christians, Conservatives and AMERICANS are the targets of the new fascist governments popping up all over the globe, INCLUDING IN THE UNITED STATES.
Equity must be earned by freely exercising your equality.
