Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Will Include Critical Race Theory

The Center for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is now using Critical Race Theory. Not only will CRT be coming through Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), it will be coming through the PBIS too.  This was a way of data-mining mental health , but now they will be data-mining your child’s attitudes, values and beliefs as they relate to race. You might want to make sure you check to see all the data they are mining on your children and where it’s going.

The screen shots below were taken from a PBIS Forum on Implementing Culturally Responsiveness into K-12. Culturally Responsiveness is one of the vehicles of CRT created by Gloria Ladson Bilings, to insert CRT in K-12 education. PBIS is used in many schools throughout the U.S.
Here is the link to that Forum where they link CRT to Tier 1 in a Multi Tiered System of Support using PBIS:

You should know that Tier 1 comes from the Multi-Tiered System of Support. This is where your school is turned into a mental health clinic so they can then collect personal mental health data on your kids. I bet you didn’t know that your school administrators are collecting mental health data on your kids, and sharing that data without your knowledge or consent.

NOTE: Federal Law Every Student Succeeds Act requires consent from parents when schools assess or treat mental health. If your school is failing to inform your or get your consent, consult an attorney:


None of this comes as a surprise to me or education policy researchers. This was all planned by education reformers years ago. They just needed the bureaucrats and administrators to facilitate all of the avenues for this wave of extremist political indoctrination.

New Hampshire parents and teachers are reporting the increase in behavior problems they are seeing in their schools. When you turn your school system into a mental health facility, you can expect big problems. They are not equipped, educated or set up to be a mental health facility for children. They are dabbling in pseudo-psychology.

Unless they are referring children who need mental health support to outside facilities staffed by PhD Child Psychologists, you need to be mindful of the harm that can come when untrained and uneducated teachers and counselors dabble in serious mental health problems.

I continue to express my concerns for the public school system that may be setting up a scenario similar to what we saw in Parkland, Fl. In City-Journal, the author explained how the Department of Education initiative, under President Obama tried to put an end to the “school to prison pipeline.”   Add to the poor management within the school system, and you can see how the shooter fell through the cracks:

“Students charged with various misdemeanors, including assault, would now be disciplined through participation in ‘healing circles,’ obstacle courses, and other ‘self-esteem building’ exercises.”

New Hampshire is embarking on new mental health measures within the school system, and laws that address behavior:

III-a.  Before expelling a pupil under this section the local school board or chartered public school board of trustees shall consider each of the following factors:

(a)  The pupil’s age.

(b)  The pupil’s disciplinary history.

(c)  Whether the pupil is a student with a disability.

(d)  The seriousness of the violation or behavior committed by the pupil.

(e)  Whether the school district or chartered public school has implemented positive behavioral interventions under paragraph V.

(f)  Whether a lesser intervention would properly address the violation or behavior committed by the pupil.

Manchester, Nashua, and Keene are some of the areas where parents and teachers,  have been reporting an increase in behavior issues among the student population. While some children may respond to positive behavior interventions, others may not.

Now that you know that CRT is also an element in the PBIS system, what can you expect? More extremist indoctrination coming through SEL and PBIS that may increase problematic behavior.  We can hope that it will not rise to the level of violence we’ve seen in other schools throughout the country.
