'There was a pandemic before this,' superintendent says. 'That was inequity and racism'

A suburban Chicago school district has said students of color will get the first chance to return for in-person learning when schools reopen, citing "a pandemic" of "inequity and racism, and classism" that preceded COVID-19.

Because District 65, which includes students from Evanston and Skokie, won't force teachers to work on-site, school buildings may not be able to accomodate all students who would like to come back to their classrooms. In that event, Superintendent Devon Horton reportedly said, the district would give priority to "Black and Brown students," and others it considered to be "marginalized" or "oppressed."

I wonder how this would look if instead of "Black and Brown" they substituted "White".

This insanity needs to be put down as soon as feasible.

It’s called “segregation.”

This whole movement is beginning to look like they’re treating blacks as ‘Special ED’ students.

So they’re just going to reverse it and play the same tune backward, eh? Seems “just” to me. < /sarc >

Oh, so let black and brown students be the guinea pigs for rates of students catching COVID while attending school, but convince them that they are first because they’re “special”-—I see. And if they do catch COVID, there will be guaranteed outcries that this IDIOT superintendent was “using black and brown students as guinea pigs before sending white students into the schools”.

Democrats for segregation

They always have been

You’d be an idiot if you put your white kids back into these school systems.

Homeschool and stop paying into public schools. Move to some place where you can get vouchers or waivers or its so rural its hardly anything.

Kep your kids from believing this racist garbage about whites and then turning on you.

People of color want to be segregated. But on their terms. Not whitey’s!

Perhaps Superintendent Devon Horton should become acquainted with the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

I would hope there is an immediate lawsuit. Pretty obvious 14th Amendment violation.

You can bet on it.
