| Subject: Evading reality: School district bans trainings based on gender differences Sat Aug 24, 2019 2:01 am | |
| A New Jersey school district has agreed not to use training methods promoted by a group that stresses gender differences and holds positions including that girls don't perform as well on timed tests as boys because they are threatened by pressure and that boys are bored more easily. The West Milford Township School District had contracted with the Spokane, Washington-based Gurian Institute for teacher training sessions on three occasions in 2017. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint about those trainings last year with the state Division on Civil Rights. In an agreement signed this week, the school district said it would instruct its teachers not to use the Gurian Institute's methods in their classrooms and to return the training materials issued in 2017. The district also will provide anti-discrimination and anti-bias training to teachers and administrators.
