The principal of Northside Elementary School in Midway, Kentucky, told parents in a letter posted by the popular Twitter page, Libs of Tik Tok, that not enough minorities were on the school council.
“So Kentucky requires a race quota for school council even if it means ignoring the results of an election? Wow,” the account tweeted. The principal, Joshua Powers, said in the statement that he would be calling an election for “an additional minority parent.”
“Our school is greatly enriched by the diversity of our community and it is important for our school council to reflect that diversity,” the statement read. “The most recent elections have not resulted in any minority members on the council. Kentucky law requires all schools with 8% or more minority students to seek a minority parent representative. Pursuant thereto, I am calling for the election of an additional minority parent. Our teachers will also select an additional teacher representative as well.”
The statement also included what races the candidates had to be in order to run for this position. The list included: American Indian, Alaskan-Native, African American, Hispanic, or Pacific Islander.
“The minority parent member of the council is elected by all parents and receives training coach year that he or she serves,” said the statement. “The new council member will serve from March 1, 2022 until June 30th, 2022. Minority Members may seek reelection if they wish.”
As of now, Harrison County Schools have not addressed this incident.
That’s against the civil rights act of 1963...
Not enough school funds being embezzled yet.
Get your kids away from public schools, pronto!
Ever so slightly unconstitutional.
Wait. No, it’s not “slightly” at all. There are a lot of “small towns” around here that are not “professional” in their leadership at all. I’ve experienced it. It’s comical.
It has been said that anything too stupid to be said can be sung … but there is a class of political ideology that allows things too stupid to be sung to be said.
Sue.
Do they hate Asians?
Why aren’t they on the list as possibilitities?
That’s racist. Oh, sorry, it only works if you are some other color or something.
wow wow wow, discrimination based on color!
Are they also enforcing this on black majority school districts? I’m betting they aren’t
Discrimination?
The entire school staff is white - Principal Powers needs to fire himself.
Racist pigs.
So, we want another American citizen on the council but he/she must be a certain skin pigmentation because we judge our citizenry by their color. After all, citizens of the same color all think and behave alike. There are no individuals in a diverse society, only tribes. Ain’t diversity grand.
What’s interesting is that white liberals believe black people only vote for black people. Sort of racist, isn’t it?
They ll all end up hating the so-called diversity they end up with if this kind of shit isn’t stopped.
The problem is paying for the schools; let representation mirror the funding sources. Otherwise we have “representation without taxation”, which is just as bad as “taxation without representation” (and the Founding Fathers knew it - only taxpayers could vote).
The Dem party is built on harnessing the votes of non-taxpayers to let them at the tax revenues paid by taxpayers; that is what the Founding Father sought to avoid.
Blatantly against the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King’s teachings.
