In my experience, they don't say "Don't teach _______." They say, "spend less time on __________ and more time on reading (or math.)"

When art teachers are cut, they tell everyone that regular ed teachers will include art in their subject areas.

There are all kinds of ways to game it so that students aren't getting what they need, and that again is the teacher's fault, not the systems.

It doesn't surprise me to hear that some districts have been more blatant.
