State Report Card Pushes DEI and “Equity Lens” on Local Board
The ‘District Quality Standards’ report, presented as informational under item 7.d, reveals the state’s ideological requirements for the district. The board is being graded on whether it provides ‘Diversity, Equity, Inclusion or recognizing Implicit Bias’ training for members and uses an ‘equity lens tool’ to review all policies, embedding a political agenda into the school’s governance.
Recommended Action Plan
PUT THE BOARD ON NOTICE: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding the District Quality Standards report (Item 7.d), we see the state is pressuring you to adopt DEI, Implicit Bias training, and ‘equity lens’ policies. We expect you to represent our community’s values, not state-mandated ideology. Will you commit to rejecting these divisive concepts and focusing on academic achievement for all students?’
💰 Impact: Mandated Political Agendas

State Pushes for Social-Emotional Student Surveys
Buried in the ‘District Quality Standards’ report (Item 7.d) is a requirement for a ‘balanced assessment’ system that includes ‘surveys or other tools to measure the social-emotional health of students.’ This opens the door to intrusive, non-academic data collection on children’s attitudes, beliefs, and feelings, often without full parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND OPT-OUT RIGHTS: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘The DQS report (Item 7.d) calls for social-emotional surveys of students. Before any such survey is implemented, we demand a public review of all questions and a clear, simple, opt-IN process for parents. What is the district’s policy on parental consent for non-academic surveys?’
💰 Impact: Your Child’s Privacy

“Future Skills” Session Pushes Social Engineering Over Academics
Under the guise of planning for the future, the board is holding a ‘Visional/Futures Protocol’ session (Item 7.b). This session uses vague prompts about ‘skills, character traits, or mindsets’ and quotes about ‘unlearning’—common tactics to shift focus from core academics to subjective Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and ‘Portrait of a Learner’ initiatives.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK THE BOARD: Email the Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item 7.b, what specific academic outcomes will this ‘Futures Protocol’ improve? Parents want a focus on math, reading, and writing, not subjective ‘mindsets’ and ‘unlearning.’ Please ensure the final ‘Portrait of a Learner’ prioritizes academic excellence.’
💰 Impact: Replacing Core Academics
