We are still in the midst of a pandemic and have more important things to do than cultural competency. How about combating learning loss?

Staff should be allowed to put all their energy and efforts into helping students to succeed, this kind of sidetracking is not helpful for anyone. 

"Since the pandemic started, pass rates for the state’s Standards of Learning assessments have decreased dramatically, according to data from the Virginia Department of Education. In the 2020-2021 school year, the pass rate for the literacy and math assessments were 69 and 54 percent respectively, compared to 78 and 82 percent for the 2018-2019 school year. Ben Kiser, executive director of the Virginia Association of School Superintendents, said it’s going to take a few years for students to catch up to the pre-pandemic learning standards."
