[quote=Anonymous]I listened to it live and thought it was a very good speech. It addressed some of the immediate concerns in the community regarding the increase in racist incidents and set the tone for forthcoming changes in policy. She hinted at a few of them such as an expectation that attendance and disciplinary problems cannot be solved by the schools alone, but must involve the parents and community as a whole. She specifically cited changes to 4th and 5th grade social studies curriculum to include specific history regarding racism and marginalization of various groups in our society. I expect that internally every policy/initiative is going to held up against this vision and if it doesn’t support this vision, it’s going nowhere. Sorry you are bored and hoping to stir up some Dr. McKnight bashing. Find something more productive to do.[/quote]
