[quote=Anonymous]I am a poc and live in Olney. We belong to the Sherwood cluster with kids in an Elementary school. I’m paying attention to the story very carefully. I don’t think Olney is a racist town. It is small town, homey, and yes, you see the same people everywhere from the OBGC fields to the football games and yes, even the breweries. I can only speak for what I observe at the elementary school. Many have (had) black lives matters or kindness lives here signs on their lawns, there’s a lot of talk about equity and inclusiveness including adopting a title 1 sister school. So I think people want to be in a right spot. But in practice what I observe is these same well-meaning and well-intentioned people have a very homogenous looking social groups. They’re all white or you might see one or two people of color mixed in but not many.  As I said, I don’t think it’s racism but I can’t put my finger on what the disconnect is. I’m also not saying that well-intentioned people can’t be racists, so don’t take it that way, just trying to work out my observations about my town and what I’m hearing is happening at a high school level into perspective.[/quote]
