School board in Missouri, now controlled by conservatives, revokes anti-racism resolution
In the national reckoning that followed the police killing of George Floyd three years ago, about 2,000 protesters took to the streets in a St. Louis suburb. They urged the mostly white Francis Howell School District to address racial discrimination and the school board responded, passing a resolution promising to do better. Now a new board has revoked that resolution. Thursday's decision in Missouri follows a trend. School board matters have become intense political battlegrounds, with political action groups successfully electing candidates who promise to take action against teachings on race and sexuality, remove books deemed offensive and stop transgender-inclusive sports teams.
