Parents and teachers, it’s time to engage, particularly with the K-12 Education Budget Committee. A few voices are distorting DEI initiatives and curriculum transparency. Let them hear from you, too. In SMSD parents have extensive access to curriculum through parent Canvas accounts. Does your district have similar access?“The goals of transparency, or even the ideas of parental involvement in schools, these are these are good things, right? Friedman said. “They’re things that we would support. But we have to think carefully about the mechanisms that we’re putting in place, and the ulterior developments that could could emerge from them.”But Friedman argued the same groups pushing states to limit how race and other subjects were taught also were arguing in favor of curriculum transparency.”It’s pretty clear to draw a line between the two and to say, ‘There’s still a clear political motivation here,’ right?” he said. “It’s not just about parents who want to understand better about math.”
