Schools Must Resist Destructive Anti-racist Demands
Contrary to what activists seem to believe, campuses are not bastions of social injustice.

After George Floyd’s killing last spring, protests have flowered on many campuses, and so have manifestos demanding that the schools fully commit themselves to an anti-racist agenda. More are likely as the school restarts and we move into spring. Some may feel that the enlightened course is to simply satisfy these demands out of a commitment to America’s ongoing racial reckoning. However, just as many will see a mismatch between actual conditions on these campuses and the nature and tone of the manifestos, as well as the protest actions usually accompanying them. Administrations must decide where racial reckoning becomes racial wrecking ball, even amid a sincere commitment to addressing racism both open and systemic.

Coen s Corner: Senate File 1065 turns its back on Iowa children
Pat Coen
Superintendent, Burlington School District
The greatest influence in my life has been my mother. She raised me to never stand by and allow injustices to take place. This same woman expressed concern for me during my tumultuous teens, pointedly telling me that I lacked fear and common sense, while noting this is a dangerous combination.
The Iowa Executive Branch, our Senate, and our House are poised to attack public education with Senate File 1065 as they are showing no fear or common sense.
The first clause in the U.S. Bill of Rights reads, “Congress shall make no laws respecting an established religion.”
