Washington State education board wants a ‘cultural shift’ to ‘indigenous pedagogy’

Here we go again: A Washington State governor-appointed education panel recently gave a presentation to state agencies in which they asserted concepts like objectivity and individualism come from “white supremacy.”

Fox News reports Governor Jay Inslee’s hand-picked Professional Educator Standards Board also informed its sister agencies at the November 30 Governor’s Equity Summit that it wants a “cultural shift” towards an “indigenous relational pedagogy.”

According to the PESB, in contrast to “white supremacy culture,” “indigenous relational pedagogy” includes things such as “slowness and deliberateness,” “humility and gentleness” and “responsibility and reciprocity.”
