From WSJopinion: By treating others with respect, even those with whom we disagree, we will begin to heal our schools, our counties and our country. Parents also see the toxicity of critical race theory and don’t want it in schools, writes John Beatty.
Journal Editorial Report: And a PTA tries to purge Asian students. Image: Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP via Getty ImagesShouting matches, tears and overwhelming frustration dominated the Loudoun County School Board’s meeting on June 22. Sitting on the dais, I had a front-line view of the fundamental challenges facing our nation’s education system.
Before I was elected to the school board, Loudoun County Public Schools in early 2019 spent $400,000 on an “equity consultant” to analyze graduation rates and other data to determine how racist the school district was. After breaking down the data by race, the consultant found tiny differences in the graduation rates of black high-school students and white ones. These gaps, often only 1 percentage point, weren’t statistically significant.
Yet the LCPS superintendent deemed them sufficient evidence to bring in other outside groups, which declared that Loudoun County was systemically racist, and that the administration needed to embrace critical race theory’s concept of equity.
