Stand Up for Students. Stand Up Against Racism.
|
In a recent e-mail exchange among Marysville School Board members, a disturbing discussion took place. A board member argued that the achievement gap could not be remedied because some groups of students are genetically less capable due to their race. You can help us support the school board members who stood up against this shockingly racist assertion. |

Various students learn in different ways and have different strengths, but all students can learn. That was the message delivered by community members, including the NAACP, Tulalip tribal leaders, and others who packed the room at a recent school board meeting. The majority of the Marysville School Board agreed, issued an apology, and made clear their commitment to educate all students. Sign the petition today to thank these school board members for setting an example for school boards across the state. |
