According to the 2020 census data, the percentages for minorities Ed groups are as follows:   Black alone 12.4%; Hispanic 18.7%; Asian alone 6%; American Indian and Alaska Native alone 1.1%; Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone 0.2%; Some Other Race alone 8.4%; Two or More Races 10.2%. 

in a state with a majority white population, why would we alienate these minority students even more by decreasing teachers NECESSARY and EQUITABLE practice of cultural competence before entering the classroom? Teachers who are not culturally competent cause irreparable damage to minorities students. I do not understand why this is even being discussed let alone allowed public comment considering how little the public understands the education system.
