Any schools touching the Minneapolis situation?

[Anonymous]

Many schools in the area love to tout their focus on "social justice" and almost every school in the area made a statement on October 7th (and in some cases a follow up apology statement), but haven't heard a peep from any about the government murdering US citizens on the street. Any statements that I am missing? Do your students report discussing it at school? Disappointed by my school's complete lack of response.

Haven’t most schools implemented policies where they don’t issue statements / respond to events not directly related to school operations?

What would even be the point to issue statements about irrelevant news events around the world?

I’m with 11:15. Performative statements on every event - even tragic ones like what happened in Minneapolis - are ridiculous. They are, at best, performative.

I’m not looking for a school that has a statement on stuff that has nothing to do with school operations. I AM looking for a school that reinforces values that result in good human adults.

What is happening is important and should be discussed is AP government, History, Political Science and even Math stats.

Its being discussed in our child's civil rights seminar.

Many publics have had student-led walkouts.

Have any private school students done walkouts? Why not?

Meaningless performative virtue signaling? No thanks.

This is like when HOAs and PTAs made statements about social issues.

Private school walkouts would be eye roll inducing
