About 2,000 Seattle educators wore Black Lives Matter shirts at their schools Wednesday to call for racial equity in education.
Schools across the district held “Black Lives Matter at School” rallies before classes began for the day. Students, parents and teachers also wore stickers and buttons emblazoned with the “Black Lives Matter” slogan.
The purpose of the day was to affirm that “black lives matter in the public schools,” according to organizers, who are members of Social Equality Educators, a group of educators within the Seattle teachers union. Teachers also wanted to show their support for John Muir Elementary, which had its “Black Men Uniting to Change the Narrative” event canceled last month after receiving a threat over teachers’ plans to wear Black Lives Matter shirts.
Before school started Wednesday at Chief Sealth International High School, dozens of educators and students gathered outside the building and held up banners and signs.
About 60 Chief Sealth educators had ordered the shirts beforehand. Some of the shirts said “Black Lives Matter” and “#sayhername,” a reference to Sandra Bland, a black woman who died in police custody in Texas. Those shirts had an image of a fist. Others wore shirts that said “Black Lives Matter” and “We Stand Together” with an image of a tree.
Teacher Diana Romero said she decided to wear a shirt “to support our black brothers and sisters in support for justice.” As a Latina, she said she has seen firsthand the unfair treatment of people of color by police officers.

Well, actually that's a bit high, considering kids under 5 or 6 wouldn't technically be in school, and then there's Juvie (another topic altogether)...
So, just taking under 18 and dividing by 18, then multiplying by 13 (K-12), we get 5,417.
Thank you. I didn’t know. It just didn’t seem like a city with a majority concentration to me.
Them that can, do. Them that can't, teach!
"Just axin'."
The only majority concentration it has is useful idiots.
That’s ok, right?...Just don’t were an American flag on your shirt to school!!!
Seattle is a puke pile of radicals...
Education majors have much lower SAT scores than people who major in STEM subjects, business, etc. Below Ed majors are the **** Studies majors.
King county was the only place that voted for psychotic John Dean....
To balance things out they are wearing KKK shirts next week.
‘Black Lives Matter’ except in Chicago and every democrat controlled city.
Look at all the dots on the map. All shooting victims!

Most Seattlunatics have no idea of who lenin was or what he was responsible for. They only like him because they know we get irked when we see him ;’}
(and yes - I have fantasized about torching off his head and re-welding it to look like it got shoved up his own rear end)
