Cal State Fullerton Ends Student Teacher Program Over Critical Race Theory Ban

VoiceOfOC
Cal State Fullerton will hold off on sending more student teachers to the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District after district trustees voted to ban Critical Race Theory from the classroom earlier this year.

There are currently 6 student teachers in the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District but there are usually 70 to 80, according to the statement.

“The placement of student teachers in Placentia Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD), at this time, would place us in conflict with our goals to prepare teacher candidates with pedagogical approaches rooted in diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, race and gender theories, cultural linguistic studies, social emotional well-being, and tenets of Critical Race Theory,” the statement reads.

Academics on a panel hosted by Cal State Fullerton educators last year said the theory is a framework taught in graduate-level courses, primarily law school, that examines the role racism has played in shaping society’s institutions, social structures and laws.

Opponents say the theory is being used to politically indoctrinate children.

I can see three Trump 24, one Let’s Go Brandon, and four American flags from my front steps. Most of my neighbors scare me.

Almost 50 years ago when I bought my home, the pre-city was a horse town, and the politics were old-school libertarian.

Never listened to Limbaugh, I don't get the backwards, just rich greed for power. The population is Translucent White, Opaque White, Asian, Professional Athletes, Other Rich, and me.
