California State University Fullerton will no longer send student teachers to the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District after the district’s school board voted earlier this year to ban critical race theory.
Cal State Fullerton's College of Education Dean Lisa Kirtman said in a statement that sending students to Placentia Yorba-Linda Unified for teacher training would place the college in conflict with its goals. She said the university aims to prepare teachers with"pedagogical approaches rooted in diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, race and gender theories, cultural linguistic studies, social emotional well-being, and tenets of Critical Race Theory.
In response to Cal State Fullerton's decision to stop sending student teachers to the district, Blades wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday: Blades told LAist last month that student teachers should follow the district's rules."When you are hired, you're supposed to do what your boss tells you to do. So if the district is telling you 'don't teach this,' you just don't teach it. And I feel like we've lost that in this profession," she said.
Bremer worried that the paused relationship with Cal State Fullerton would make it harder for the district to find teachers, and student teachers, in the future."Once they establish relationships with other districts, it's going to be hard for [Cal State Fullerton] to come back."
