A California school district encouraged its staff during a September 2022 workshop to send misbehaving students to diversity, empathy and “implicit bias” trainings instead of suspending or expelling them, according to documents obtained through a public records request by Parents Defending Education (PDE) and provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Poway Unified School District offered staff training on its “restorative practice” within the district, which includes focusing “on repairing harm rather than receiving punishment for breaking a rule,” according to documents obtained through a public records request by PDE.
The staff training, which promotes an Anti-Defamation League (ADL) education program, offered alternative punishments to suspending students, including courses on “care” and “hate” behavior, as well as lessons on empathy and diversity.
