Petition to Focus FSD/FJUHSD Back on Academic Achievement Instead of Racial Divisions

Petition summary and background:
Critical Race Theory (CRT) is opposed by 75% of people who learn about it. However, it has now become the foundation for recommended curriculum in many school districts through Sleeter’s and tolerance.org’s “Learning for Justice” guidelines. Ethnic studies curriculum and the state mandate should NOT be a vehicle for CRT, but it functionally is. The recommended curriculum undermines the stated goals of promoting ethnic studies and diversity, but instead fosters division and racial conflict, as well as promoting low self esteem by playing into victimhood and targeting whites, labeling kids as inherently racist.

Action petitioned for:

We, the undersigned, urge the legislature to oppose AB101 and present a better ethnic studies curriculum by first 1) observing school districts who have adopted the Sleeter curriculum and its negative effects, and to 2) focus back on academics, such as promoting Honors and AP Math and Sciences, to uplift our students’ self esteem through true merit-based achievement.
