“Many schools in Ohio are hiding their curriculum because they’re teaching students to become bigots toward their peers, adults, and law enforcement.”
The battle over “Diversity” curricula is raging across the country, and with each passing week, more parents come out of the woodwork to testify against political activism in schools. In recent weeks, parents have written to me from Ohio, Texas, Arizona, Utah, and Virginia reporting that their local meetings have become so packed that parents are forced to watch proceedings from screens in lobbies and hallways.
As I’ve covered this phenomenon over some months, I’ve observed how parent testimonies have evolved into almost an art form. As dire as the situation seems to be, and sometimes it does feel dire, I can’t help but think this is a shining moment in history for the salt-of-the-earth Americans who can smell BS from a mile away and are willing to say so.
That was never more true than for one wholesome, middle-aged mother of two in Beachwood, Ohio. On March 9th, she ripped the Beachwood school board to shreds over their obsession with race and pompous need to control black families like hers, as well as what she perceives to be the sexual grooming of children. Her eloquent comments were met with admonishment by the president of the all white school board, who ultimately attempted to drone out her voice with robotic platitudes about “equity.” It was a stunning exchange.
Below is her poignant speech, which, being so chock full of wisdom, was difficult to edit down (video below).
She began by discussing her experience as a black mother of two grown children, both now successful doctors, who, she argues, were able to thrive in Beachwood because the school united families around a quest for excellence for all students
Years and decades prior, students made friends based on personalities, similarities and differences, and interests in academics, sports, music, clubs, associations, etc. They studied together, carpooled together, went on trips together, went to each other’s houses together, went out to eat together, planned school activities together. Athletes, cheerleaders, and band members rolled together on school buses to games all over northeast Ohio together. They laughed and cried, win or lose together

You went down a road because of what you see nationally that had nothing to do with Beachwood. Now you’ve got school systems in this congressional district telling them how to have anal sex and this is what your sex education… (gets cut off)
It was at this point that the president of the school board interjected to let her know that her time was up. After a brief back and forth exchange in which the mom tried to get in a last comment about the “gender unicorn,” the school board president cut her off, speaking over her on the mic. He can be heard saying, voice full of contempt, “I take extreme exception with almost everything you’ve said because your premise is wrong.”
At this point the black mom had left the podium and was now standing about 10 feet in front of him, facing him, shaking her head no, her voice drowned out by his, as he stammered on, “this..this..administration and this board is..is…committed to equity for every student in this district.”
Now addressing the group he continued, “You can shake your heads no, you’re free to disagree (becomes inaudible),” at which point his voice is drowned out by applause and cheering in the background. Like a robot, the school board president can be heard again, droning over the hostile crowd, “Our administration is committed to equity for every student.”
The exchange is astonishing to watch (begins around 7:43 mark):
The indignant reaction this woman elicited from the board president, evident in his tone of utter contempt, is familiar to many black conservatives, and anyone else who dares to focus the spotlight too brightly and effectively on the deeply disturbing elements of the white progressive agenda. As many successful, independent black Americans have experienced, there are people who are viscerally threatened by the bold assertion that black Americans can succeed on their own steam, and that they can integrate fully and joyfully into the fabric of American life. In the case of white progressives, that message threatens their sense of benevolent superiority, their feelings of righteous sanctification, and most importantly, it obstructs their avenue to societal control and the remaking of mankind in their own image. Self sufficient black Americans can’t be controlled, and thus they must be silenced.
welcome to woke ohio
Isn’t it the other way around? Blacks encourage racism.
Sort of like Burn, Loot, Murder it is not all or even mostly blacks.
You look and you see a surprising number of young white males and females in the group.
I have seen some that were all white.
Whadaya expect?!?!
Blacks riping the school board for not focusing on race, and being racist
Now another gets up and says they ARE focusing on race and being racist
Solution: send them all back to the wonderful perfect continent of africa, revoke their citizenship in this nasty, mean horrible country no one should be proud to live in.
Works For Me.
You didn’t read the article, did you?
Torches and pitchforks, tar and feathers. That’ll get the “point” across.
Equity is RACISM.
I did.
My comment is that we have many blacks around the country who are claiming on one end, the schools are racist, math is racist, everything they fail at is racist, etc
And then you have the blacks that say whites are focusing too much on blacks and race.
Cant win, damned if you do or dont, just ship them back to their wakanda paradise and be done with it.
I’m glad you posted this here, but I’m very disappointed with some of the comments. The mom in this video is part of a group I am working with in Ohio: “Protect Ohio Children.” You can go to the website at protectohiochildren.net.
We are fighting hard for our kids here. Fighting to stop Critical Race Theory, Comprehensive Sexual Education, and Social/Emotional Learning. We are DOING something here locally.
I’m in the midst of a fight myself with my school board because they had an entire week devoted to Gay Pride at the high school. So, I’m trying to rally the troops.
Talk is cheap. Right now, we need boots on the ground. I applaud Sherry to taking those bums in Beachwood to task.
Equity is MARXISM.
Shockingly, all black people do not share the same thoughts and values any more than all white people do.
idiots all around...
Yep, hats off to her. Sounds like her comments were right on target.
Fom what I’ve seen, it’s been mostly pasty white kids promoting BLM on the streets around here - and even in rural communities.
I’m convinced that this whole ‘critical race’ imposition is the tactic of largely White people, whose handlers want to create race contention and division.
(They’re inciting a lot of people to crazy behavior - and that disruption is part of their aim.)
It’s nuts to blame Black people - too many of them want nothing to do with it.
I take that back. Being white has nothing to do with their arrogant attitude.
They should be ashamed of themselves for being liberals and ignorant.
Good video...Saw another black mom telling a school board that CRT is dangerous to America and it should be allowed...I’m thinking of running for the local school board. I’m for teaching kids xsubjects that will help them get good jobs and not BS like trans or CRT.
Man...School board meetings are intense. Some awesome parents there.
I watched the whole thing.
Yeah. You didn’t read or watch.

“The hypocrites on this school board should be ashamed of being white.”
They are. Hence the mandetory curriculum which was to take place on 3-11? What happened?
Where is Paul Harvey with the rest of the story...
