Words like “equity” and “inclusion” will be stripped from Georgia’s teacher preparation standards after the state’s Professional Standards Commission unanimously voted for their removal on Thursday.
The change comes on the heels of a vote last month to eliminate references to “diversity” and “diverse” from the standards and replace them with the terms that are allegedly easier to understand.
Chairman Brian Sirmans said the changes followed the University System of Georgia’s request to have clarified expectations for incoming teachers, according to The Rome News-Tribune.
