Chris Brewster: We began our school in a church basement and then progressed to an old YMCA and then expanded into a school district site that had been surplused that was built in 1906, we built in Early Childhood Center and an old armory and a sixth grade center and a grocery store So literally for 20 years, charter schools like Santa Fe schools have had no way financially to expand facilities to even a modicum of equality.

Basketball announcer loses job after caught using racial slurs

An Oklahoma sports announcer was captured during a livestream directing racial slurs and expletives toward members of a girls high school basketball team who were kneeling during the national anthem.
The racist comments came shortly after Norman High basketball players knelt during the playing of the national anthem before a quarterfinal state tournament game against Midwest City at Sapulpa High School in Sapulpa, Oklahoma.
Rowan, who says he was at one time a youth pastor, released a written statement Friday evening.
âDuring the Norman High School girls basketball game against Midwest City, I made inappropriate and racist comments believing that the microphone was off; however, let me state immediately that is no excuse, such comments should have never been uttered,â Rowan said in the statement.
â. I have not only embarrassed and disappointed myself I have embarrassed and disappointed my family and my friends.
âI will state that I suffer Type 1 Diabetes and during the game my sugar was spiking. While not excusing my remarks it is not unusual when my sugar spikes that I become disoriented and often say things that are not appropriate as well as hurtful. I do not believe that I would have made such horrible statements absent my sugar spiking.
