200 students stage walkout at Hillcrest High School in protest over Black History Month program https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/200-students-stage-walkout-at-hillcrest-high-school-in-protest-over-black-history-month-program/amp/
Tuscaloosa County, Alabama
"Students claim that school administration told them their student-run Black History Month program could not reference anything that happened before the 1970s, including slavery, the Black Panthers or the civil rights movement."
What lazy reporting! Who told the students this? Is it written down somewhere? Is it local to that school, that district, that state?
This kind of thing needs to be reported, far and wide. But the report we need would tell us what authority, if any, was behind it. That's how we know whom to address.
Pathetic. NAACP should be on this. The member the story quotes should have been in a position to provide that extra info. The one good thing about lazy reporters is that you can use them to get your own message out, but you have to write it yourself. NAACP needed to be ready with a press release that named names and cited references. This is a missed opportunity to cause some good trouble.
