We stand for a quality education for all students that is rooted in proven methods and not in activism.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>2. We believe all students are capable of receiving a quality education that teaches them critical thinking skills to help them be successful in continued education, in future occupations, and in life generally.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>3. We believe children need to learn a balanced view of history, where they can understand events and figures in context.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>4. We are pro-human and support the anti-racism efforts of Martin Luther King Jr., where students are judged by the content of their character and not by their immutable characteristics.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>5. We believe that modern anti-racism efforts which are rooted in Critical Theory and Intersectionality, though well-intended, will cause more harm than good as standards in education are lowered to achieve equity and students are separated and labeled according to their immutable characteristics.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>6. We believe that the tenets of modern anti-racism form a neo-racist \u201cwoke\u201d ideology that is tantamount to a religion. As a public school district, we believe the continued embrace of this ideology leads to a violation of our first amendment rights as parents to teach our children religious
