1/ One of the first tests of the new Tennessee state laws about CRT in public schools was decided by the courts this month, and the litigants, Moms for Liberty-remoras James and Trish Lucente, failed bigly.

Reminder:
tn.chalkbeat.org/2021/11/19/227… 2/ The lawsuit alleged the Wit & Wisdom elementary reading curriculum contained CRT and age-inappropriate material, and was dismissed.

Word on the street is 26 people are signed up for public comment. 🍿 6:29pm and the room still has plenty of seats, generally a good sign that it won't be crowd chaos like we've seen in the past.

This is a real comment on our FB page in a thread about MFL book ban attempts.

We're calling dibs on branding "nefarious librarians" - stay tuned for the t-shirt order link.

The @WCSedu board is now discussing the elementary curriculum review committee findings. Buckle up and refill those beverages. Cleveland (D7) says parents are the mentors & teachers and kids look to them while teaching them to respect those who have different beliefs than they do. WCS teachers are experienced professionals. Disappointed in our community who have lost faith that our teachers....

The @WCSedu is now discussing a resolution in opposition to HB2833 re: #charter schools, which would shorten the timeline for approval and allows charters to use district facilities: The #wcsb is asking with this resolution for local control. Sheila Cleveland who chairs the legislative committee on the Board, says this is on the TSBA "oppose" list which means the state board does *not* recommend this for Tennessee public school districts.

More info on the Hillsdale K-12 charter application sitting with @WCSedu for review - a 🧵. You can find the official application linked here (all 317 pages of it) but let's talk about where @Moms4LibertyWC comes into play....

docs.google.com/document/d/1KH… When @Moms4LibertyWC advertised the new Hillsdale charter school in their Facebook group, it showed the 1776 curriculum. "1776" is literally not found once in the 317 pages of the detailed charter curriculum application.

We just received an official copy of the Hillsdale charter - dubbed "USA Classical Academy" - application to @WCSedu and there is a LOT to unwrap here. Short version: public school funding is being requested to fund what appears to be a Christian private school. What does "training in the virtues" mean exactly? Whose virtues?

Almost 1,400 (!) ppl have added their names to denounce the Moms for Liberty anti-diversity fundraiser.

🧵on why everyone must publicly speak out against these extremists who do NOT represent our community ideals.

chng.it/cK9hkPkb Most importantly, @BerniceKing of @TheKingCenter has said they're misusing her father, Dr. King, to make money. Honestly that alone should have our local leaders publicly making statements honoring their wishes, and saying our community does not support this event.

Back from the break. The agenda is approved. The consent agenda is approved. No discussion. Superintendent's Report - Golden thanks the speakers, especially the students. First up he wants to recognize the ACT perfect scores first out of respect for the students' time, and then he will continue the Superintendent's report.

#wcsb meeting is back - missed a little bit since feed still isn't working. Golden says we can't solve covid. We aren't going to solve covid when decisions are left up to local school boards. What we can do is mitigate, did that last year. (Jason Golden is the superintendent and is speaking now, just to be clear.) #wcsb
