Pittsboro, NC – Chatham County Schools recently implemented a required 2-day “white privilege” training for senior administrators, and a mandatory 2.5 hour equity training for all teachers and counselors.
Compulsory racially-focused training takes center stage, under the pretense of “Equity”
Since their “first full group equity team meeting” in April 2016, Chatham County Schools has adopted an ever growing focus on equity and social justice. In the weeks leading up to the start of the 2022-2023 school year, Chatham County Schools took a bold new step in their push to ensure that an “Equity” lens is forced into every classroom in the district.
While current CCS board members and administrators claim that the term “critical race theory” is not spoken aloud directly to students may be technically true, the teachings of critical pedagogy are being infused into every interaction occurring within the CCS organization. This is achieved through incremental changes to course curricula, conducting equity training for faculty and staff, and rewarding employees who display their dedication to the equity cause via awards, grants, and evaluations. Further, fear of reprisal is sown among employees, students, and members of the public who may chafe at the blatant politicization and unequal policing of speech and behavior within our public schools.
