[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our principal mentioned it in a weekly newsletter to staff but that’s it. We have parents dying from Covid and unemployment is huge in my Title One school. It’s not making the list of priorities right now. Our social worker is working over time just to get food to families.[/quote]

But kids at your school probably also face police brutality in their neighborhoods. At the car rally, a Latina spoke about her son being brutally beaten by MoCo police. It’s not just black kids that are impacted by racial injustice.[/quote]

No. The neighborhood is pretty peaceful. Once or twice a year there might be a crime like a car stolen or vacant home broken into. [/quote]

The school where the principal just made mention in the staff email is actually a very white and wealthy school. I think you're right that he needs an outside person to jump start conversations because he's maybe uncomfortable. Going forward the county needs to do a better job training principals to do this work  and hire people who can lead through these times.[/quote]
