Howatt: How is putting this in the classroom with teachers that are not ready with students that want to ask questions or maybe don’t, how is this going to change if we say you have to do this? Anything that’s done where it’s mandatory feels like I don’t have a choice to learn and find out about it. Stower: Learning is always your choice, Kris. We’ve already had these discussions and I refuse to re-educate you over and over and over again. You need to do your work. … School Board Member Amanda Orozco-Beach: This is stalling. It’s pushing white supremacy. It’s getting in the way of progress … We are trying to make sure that everyone is seen and heard. This policy wouldn’t even be such a big deal if it wasn’t for board members trying to push this and get the public involved. This is just pushing unnecessary trauma and it’s really inappropriate.During the same committee meeting, the school board also reviewed the policy on the Pledge of Allegiance. The updated policy asks students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance “at least once each week during and school year,” recite a “land acknowledgment” each week, and recite the “Black national anthem.” Stowers proposed that students recite the “land acknowledgment” immediately following the Pledge of Allegiance. “It makes things easy; it makes things consistent, and it makes things equitable,” Stowers said. The board also updated the “position purpose” statement of the district’s superintendent. Orozco-Beach proposed that the statement rely more heavily on the board’s commitment to equity. “I wanted to include that we need to have a leader that understands that public schools are inherently racist institutions and they need to be committed to collaborate and work with the board to eliminate white supremacy culture in Gresham-Barlow schools,” Orozco-Beach said. “Our commitment to eliminating institutional racism and I think it’s important that if we hire our next superintendent that they would follow those values.” Read more at: DailyWire.com and Propaganda.news
