I teach middle school and yea after the protests this year, every school district completely dropped whatever current professional development topics we were covering (stuff like how to better engage students via online learning) to shift immediately towards anti-racist pedagogy (as a note, my school is 99% Latino and 1% White lol). They then gave us lessons for our home room period (which meets daily) on racism, intersectionality, privilege, etc.

The science teacher must teach science, the reading teacher must teach reading, and so on. I do not support some half-baked government lesson plan for whichever administration feels they want to lecture on their version of morality. Its flawed because school boards change, admins change and teachers change, so the plan will flip flop in reflection of that. It sounds very religious. Go to this church and the guidance is this way, go to the other church down the street and its something else, go to a mosque and its something else, so none of us can agree with each other anyway.

Just be rational and reasonable and enforce the damn zero tolerance policies on bullying. Those rules either get ignored or they victim blame.
