[quote=Anonymous]Our MCPS MS highlights a person every day for Black History Month.  For the most part, they tend to not focus on athletes -- Jordan Peele, Michelle Obama have been prior spotlights.  Today's choice was Colin Kaepernick, along with this blurb:

"Colin Kaepernick played quarterback for the SF 49ers for six seasons.  He is now a free agent in the NFL.  In 2016, he took a knee during the national anthem to protest racism and police brutality.  His actions also made other NFL players do the same.  Kaepernick now advocates for ohers.  He's donated more than $1 million to community groups, and has his "Know Your Rights Camp", an advocate group for self empowerment for people of color.  He has also created Kaepernick Publishing, partnering with Audible to create opportunities for black and brown writers, authors and creators to control their narratives and retain ownership of their work."

Whether you support Kaepernick or not, would you support him as a choice for Black History Month spotlight?  Seems like a peculiar choice, when there are so many other options.
