by
CFER
**Dear San Dieguito parents, community members and concerned citizens, **
On this Thursday, October 14, 2021 at 5pm, the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) Board of Trustees will hold a public meeting, in which the Board will discuss and consider revisions to Board Policy 6144 on Controversial Issues (Item 10f). Please support SDUHSD Board's policy changes to prohibit critical race theory (CRT).
The Board will update Board Policy 6144 to add: "Instruction shall not teach or include Critical Race Theory as part of the curriculum, instruction or educational materials. Critical Race Theory is not required by the State Board of Education as part of any of its content standards or framework."
**It is time that the SDUHSD Board consider the voices of community stakeholders against CRT, a divisive, race-based doctrine. **
To support the updated Board Policy, you can:
1. Sign up to give a public comment regarding **Item 10f **beginning at 4:50 pm today.

About Californians for Equal Rights Foundation (CFER):
We are a non-partisan and non-profit organization established following the defeat of Proposition 16 in 2020, with a mission to defend and raise public awareness on the cause of equal rights through public education, civic engagement and community outreach. In 1996, California became the first U.S. state to amend its constitution by passing Proposition 209 to ban racial discrimination and preferences. Prop. 209 requires that “the state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting.” CFER is dedicated to educating the public on this important constitutional principle of equal treatment.
