A Denver high school reversed a controversial policy on Thursday that allowed students to opt out of attending a Black History Month assembly.

Officials at George Washington High School told ABC News parents no longer will be allowed to prevent their children from attending individual assemblies amid backlash over its decision to let students opt out of an upcoming black history celebration in March.

State indoctrination isn't optional.

Your mini-dems will report to the designated Good-Think ® areas as scheduled.

“Taking a knee” will NOT be tolerated from white students towards a black event.

More liberal brainwashing on the virtues of victimhood.

If you don’t want your child to go, keep them home that day.

George Washington should be ashamed that his name is associated with Stalinist indoctrination. The purpose of education should be to train minds to think for themselves, not, as Charles Foster Kane put it, to “think what I tell them to think.”

If the event is so controversial, why not cancel it?

If the kids were white we would have been told about it to fit the narrative. My guess is that it is mostly a bunch of non-white immigrant kids and they don’t really care and or they really hate the black bigots that lord it over them.

I would put the shoe on the other foot, do they even want white kids in these schools?

“As we continue the important work of dismantling systemic racism, segregation, and inequity in education, and specifically at George Washington High School, we appreciate our community holding us accountable.”

Please... what do you have, around 10-15 blacks in Colorado? These virtue signaling snowflakes crack me up.

Just curious. Which month is White History Month? And Oriental History Month? Or Native American Month?

Again, more anti-white hatred from leftists who have systematically taken over public schools.

I would never send my kids to public schools and I recommend you do not either.

Don’t give them any ideas.

“Students who opt-out of the assembly will be supervised in the library for the duration of the assembly”

You’re paying for your kids to be ostracized and marginalized. Instead of offering a real class, they offer a smiley face jail.

Why are we paying these a**holes to run our schools? They have no right to dictate to us.
