GUILFORD There has been an ongoing debate in town over equity and social justice since the high school’s mascot was changed last year from Indians to Grizzles.
Now the conversation has turned to whether the school district is teaching critical race theory in the classrooms.
While there has been support behind the effort led by Superintendent Paul Freeman and the Board of Education, some have shown up to meetings, written emails to the board, and created a petition, claiming critical race theory is being taught in Guilford schools.

Officials representing towns across the state as well as educators and political leaders are welcoming Gov. Ned Lamont’s move to introduce legislation that would make broadband and high speed internet services more widely available as well as cheaper in Connecticut.
Alarmed that 23 percent of Connecticut residents don’t have access to internet service of any kind, Lamont said the goal of his ambitious legislation is for the state to have universal broadband service by 2022. Bethel First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker lauded Lamont’s efforts, but said the problem of widespread access to affordable high speed internet is nothing new.
