On the agenda for the Dec 21, 2023 FHSD board meeting is a vote to disapprove the “Social Justice” standards published by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a leftist group that targets conservatives across the country. Those standards were one of the foundations the district used when creating the black history and black literature electives with CRT principles. These elective courses currently have low attendance.
The left knows that getting rid of these standards (and any curriculum using them) is a first step in removing ideological indoctrination from schools, so they are going ballistic. They plan on having a rally before the board meeting.
We need your help:
- Please email the board and encourage them to ignore the screaming leftists and vote to remove these standards:
