ALLEN PARK The Detroit Lions rocked the NFL world over the weekend by agreeing to trade Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams for a package that includes two first-round picks. Jared Goff is their QB1 for now, but another is surely on the way soon, perhaps with the seventh overall pick, perhaps before that, or maybe even sometime or some year later.
Angst leads Bolles to discontinue part of its planned racial literacy curriculum The topic of diversity and inclusion is very personal and can generate strong emotions. Finding common ground and solutions is not a quick fix, the school wrote. Author: Josslyn Howard Updated: 11:49 AM EST January 30, 2021
JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. The Bolles School told parents and students it is discontinuing part of its racial literacy curriculum after some controversy amongst the community, as first reported by our partners the Florida Times-Union.
Families received this letter Tuesday night, stating the school decided not to move forward with the Pollyanna racial literacy curriculum.
Brunell played the final years of his lengthy career for the Jets, where Lions offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn was coaching running backs at the time.
Just months after responding to public accusations about systemic racism on campus, The Bolles School is discontinuing part of its racial literacy curriculum citing angst from the community. Now, parents are asking why.
On Tuesday, the school s Board of Trustees chairman and the head of school sent a joint letter to families explaining the decision. After careful consideration, we decided not to move forward with [the curriculum] and will explore other diversity initiatives and resources that we believe will strengthen Bolles and ensure that the School is a welcoming and supportive community for everyone, the note said. Any diversity initiatives will be age/grade level appropriate and grounded in the experiences of our own community members.
