Confronting bias class


On March 2, 2023, Fox News published an article about the school's graduation requirements, which include taking a single trimester of a class named "Confronting Bias, Working Toward Equity" for students in the Class of 2025 onward. The article includes quotes from a parent of an anonymous student that claimed that students were being told that they were "prejudiced and biased based solely off of the color of [their] skin". The parent was also quoted as saying "I do not understand why, in a state where we overwhelmingly voted to re-elect a governor who is actively fighting this type of Woke ideology, a school with headquarters based out of London, has made this a graduation requirement in the state of Florida."
The "Confronting Bias, Working Toward Equity" class "seeks to raise student’s awareness and give strategies to not only acknowledge their biases and prejudices but to also speak up in situations when biases and prejudices are present. By normalizing and focusing on the study of certain issues through a historical, political, and social lens, we can ensure that our students are learning relevant social sciences skills while also engaging in the vital work of exploring inclusivity, diversity, and confronting bias in their everyday lives." It has not been made clear by the school how these issues will be taught or how they will be studied "through a historical, political, and social lens."
