Ok, Justin Fairfax. That's your side of the story and doesn't mesh with the facts.

If only that were true. Kids might actually learn something from that - moving cottonballs with your nose doesn't teach anything.

If you hire someone but refuse to support them in the role, they will eventually leave.

Well maybe he realized that restorative justice sounds great on paper and sucks in practice? Maybe he was disappointed in how little diverse families engage with the schools and he got tired of just dealing with white parents who have all the answers for diverse families?


Wow. You really just typed that out.

I’ll do you one better- why’d they hire an interim director? For what? What do they actually do? DEI isn’t like transportation or food service or finance.

It sounds like The latest APS Chief diversity officer is leaving. Not sure why. The previous person was removed last year IIRC. What’s going on with this role and why can’t APS keep it filled?
