City municipal offices are closed for the holiday. Today, we honor the contributions, histories, cultures, and resilience of Native American peoples’. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

@centralyorksd What happened to the diversity celebration you do every year because “you want all students to feel appreciated?” What happened to the hallways full of different country’s flags representing the student body? How dare you tell students their presence is political.

Students in a southern Pennsylvania school district are battling the latest example of panic spreading over how history and race are taught in schools across the US cnn.it/3nBtPJG

I am working on a school board race where the opposition has banned over 300 children’s books that are almost exclusively by authors of color, or about characters of color. Last night CNN covered the injustice. cnn.com/2021/09/15/us/…

As a graduate of @centralyorksd, I am sickened by the board’s vile attempt to erase stories from BIPOC authors. You claim “children are our future” but invalidate the experiences of your minority students by calling this divisive and indoctrinating. You should be ashamed.
