[quote=Anonymous]Yesterday ACPS released a back to school video welcoming back students and families in which Hutchings states that the schools had previously been closed due to the dual pandemics of 1) covid and 2) systemic racism.

So ACPS kept their schools closed because of systemic racism?  I agree racism is a horrible problem and can be found in the school system but racism kept the schools CLOSED? He does not elaborate on what that means, whether it was racist to keep the schools closed for so long or it would have been racist to open the schools and to avoid that racism they kept them closed or that racism was the cause of keeping the schools closed and because of the racism they had no choice but to close the schools (same as covid). Hutchings basically drops this bomb pretty early in the video, around the 57 second mark.

I can’t understand what this means. This is the person who makes so many decisions for ACPS and people just follow whatever he says. He doesn’t even send his kids to public school, but instead to well known Alexandria catholic school which definitely has some connotations related to it.
