It’s common for education reformers to change the names of fads that fail children in public schools. Mastery Learning became Outcome-Based Education (OBE). OBE failed, so they rebranded it into Competency-Based Education or Proficiency-Based Education. None of this helps students academically, so when parents figure it out, they put pressure on schools to abandon it.
That will become a tougher task now that much of this is enshrined in New Hampshire Law.
It should come as no surprise that DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) has become another failed fad. That would explain the need to change the name –so parents will be fooled.
DEI will now be rebranded and called BRIDGE. “BRIDGE (Benchmarking Race, Inclusion, and Diversity in Global Engagement)” is a replacement program for DEI as DEI becomes another failed education fad.
All state legislation targeting DEI should also exclude rebrands like BRIDGE.
A pivot has already been planned as a way to move away from DEI towards Bridging and Belonging. https://belonging.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/leading_for_belonging_.pdf
