Statement from the Kent (Washington) School District
Kent School District ^ | Kent School District

Posted on 09/14/2025 7:07:07 PM PDT by hiho hiho

As educators and public servants, we believe symbolic acts such as lowering the flag should reflect the principles we work to instill in our students and community. When a person has made public statements that conflict with the values of inclusivity, respect, and student safety that we as a District strive to uphold, we may choose to not fly the flag at half-staff.

Our decision reflects both our compliance with Washington State law and our unwavering commitment to ethical leadership and educational equity.

I cannot believe they can say “ inclusivity, respect” with a straight face.

They are SO inclusive respectful that they exclude all Normal Americans and disrespect them, too.

“statements that conflict with the values of inclusivity”. Such as deciding a Christian doesn’t deserve to be included in your inclusivity? These people are educating your children .......

Ask them why they are pro assassination. Assassination is one of their values.

We lived in unincorporated Kent for 6 years in the late 80's to 95. The kids started in the Kent school district, for one semester. Many of the schools had signs out front talking about various awards they had won for school excellence.

One semester was too much. We pulled them out and sent the kids to private schools for the duration, until we moved to another state. From what we saw, the school system in Kent was better at filling out paperwork to win awards than actually educating the students.

Looks like things have not changed since then.

"Inclusivity" means: more LGBT+. Genuine believing Christians NOT welcome.

Left Cancel Culture is now Left Assassination Culture because "canceling" is a sort of virtual, bloodless assassination.

Know it well, Kent is in the Greater SeeAddled area and run by the same kind of Mind-numbed Numb-No-nuts.

Princess JayYEHpal is pleased.

I began to detest the word “inclusive” when the feminazi started rewriting scripture and hymns with “inclusive language”.

The “inclusivists” had no room for traditionalists.

True, like Dave Chapell said during the height of cancel culture, and he was one of the few that stood up to it the whole time ‘taking a man’s livelihood away is akin to killing him’.
