The Lakeville School district says it stands against racism and bigotry, and is committed to creating a more inclusive environment for all students. But some families say what is being said and being done is sending mixed messages.
A group of teachers initially inquired about the BLM posters. The district says anything political is against district policy, and the BLM posters may be seen as political.
The school district did state it will offer opportunities for students, staff and families to provide feedback and dialogue with administration through listening sessions, and will have more information about those efforts in the coming weeks.
The school district cited one of its policies that asks teachers to maintain “neutrality” when it comes to political campaigns.
During the Lakeville Area Schools Board of Education meeting, concerned parents showed up to share their thoughts about this very topic.
But it was a 9-year-old girl that stole the show.
She absolutely obliterated her local school board over Black Lives Matter posters that were placed around her campus and it was all caught on video that was sent to our team this morning.
The girl said:
“The other day I was walking down the hallway at Lakeview Elementary School to give a teacher a retiring gift. I looked up on to the wall and saw a BLM poster and an Amanda Gorman poster. In case you don’t know who that chick is, she’s some girl who did a poem for Biden’s so-called inauguration. I was so mad,” the child began. “I was told two weeks ago at this very meeting spot, no politics in school. I believed what you said at this meeting, so at lunch I went up to the principal to tell him about the BLM poster and that I wanted it down.”
“I was stunned. When I was here two weeks ago, you told us to report any BLM in our schools. Apparently, you know they’re in our schools because you made the signs.”
“You have lied to me and I am very disappointed in all of you,” she said. “You can’t even follow your own rules. If you’re going to do that, why do we follow any rules we deem unfit or ridiculous? I’m not following your mask rule anymore then.”
She concluded, “get the posters out of our schools. Courage is contagious, so be courageous.”

Courage is contagious, so be courageous. I like that. Very smart young lady.
I just can't explain the outrage about our journalists who mad Greta Thinbeerg viral with her crap about climate change but couldn't spare a minute of their time about this brave girl!
Bkmk
I would have liked to see/hear the response!
Wow! Teach them the way they should go!
Critical theory begins with the destruction of language, so that nothing means anything anymore. See the ubiquitous use of the word racist.
So, we simply turn it on the leftists and say that nothing they say has meaning, and thus can be disobeyed or ignored.
I do notice that, despite their declaration of war on all meaning, leftists still drive on the right side of the road and stop at stop signs.
This is in Minnesota, figures.
Marxism "may" be seen as political? No way! I thought it was just something everyone accepted as scientific fact. /s
Good for this girl. If this country can be saved, it's due to people like her parents.
Kids like this make me think there is still hope for this Republic unless the DOJ and FBI deem her a domestic terrorist and she disappears.
Me too
Is this on YouTube to like?
Bttt.

As ConservaTeen said, ‘Fake news think that the young people are liberal, but we might not agree with older Conservatives on homosexuality, we are. We are learning, not protesting.’
Each generation decides to rebel.
The new generation of white kids will rebel against Wokeness.
"Your 5 minutes are up. The signs stay. Meeting adjourned."
Yep ... A biblical worldview is required for wisdom. As an ex-teacher of sixth grade I am amazed a fourth grader can articulate this so well. Very bright girl indeed.
Her parents should be very proud of her.
I know I am!
This young girl is a real winner. Great job, honey.
It looks like at least one person started clapping, too. I certainly would have; and I would have stood up to honor her courage!

Courage IS contagious. If someoNE in a position to do so had stood up against the naked theft of the presidency from the get go then others watching waiting to see what was what, might have stood as well. Courage needs a leader. I guess I’ll be long dead by the time it’s this little girl’s watch. Good luck, kid.
