View the public comment portion of the 8/19/21 D158 School Board Meeting below.
1:42 – Regarding LIGHT program and the inappropriateness of the move from HHS to Marlowe and how these young adults need to be in a space that respects their age and status as adults.
1:44 – Unacceptable that LIGHT program was moved and how special education services are to be delivered in age-appropriate settings. Marlowe Middle School was not built as a young-adults facility.
1:48 – Critical Race Theory concepts being ushered into our schools under the guise of “intersectionality, diversity, inclusion, fragility, and equity.” D158’s recently-completed “White Fragility” training.
1:54 – Father explains why he is a member of the D158 Parent Union “We want input on the curriculum, specifically around Sex Ed, CRT, gender approaches, how equity is achieved, history” and discusses COVID response.
1:58 – Mother pulled two sons from D158 “My 13-year-old wanted to come to school and learn, not be indoctrinated, and have the message that he is a terrible person because he was born a male with white skin, and he was getting that message loud and clear. He chose to leave. There was no way I was going to expose my 6-year-old to that message and the curriculum that this district is planning.”
