I hope parents, and students ask the Jefferson City School Board these questions. Why did the board allow the racist 2020 statement about current events to remain as the position of the board, in that it called for "listening sessions with people of color" when such a request limited to white people would be rightfully condemned? Why did the board keep "equity" and rejected "equality" as its goal, when equality is for what this country stands? Why did the board vote to retain a Marxist website as a resource when it was demonstrated to support fraudulent racist ideological history like the discredited 1619 Project?
