[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our public schools just endured a pandemic.

Given the drastic effect on our children’s education, this school board ought to have been laser-focused on making the best academic choices in a tough situation.

But instead of focusing on academics, these 3 members used up the Board’s time (and made their priority):

- re-naming schools and dismantling TJ’s admissions policy.

TJ’s current student body is 80% minority / people of color.  Admission is based purely on academics and it is color-blind.

These 3 board members have a problem with that.

They also defended ignoring the pandemic and prioritizing “renaming” by making the ridiculous allegation:

- BIPOC  students are prevented from learning because they don’t feel safe at a school with the wrong (in their view) name.

Let’s not forget there is a tangible cost too:  renaming just one school can cost up to $500,000 (half a million dollars) of taxpayer money.

These Board members do not have your children’s best interest or education in mind.  All 3 must be recalled before they do even more damage.[/quote]
