I appreciate this district for often being the source of that learning for me I am grateful to the district that my son will not have to wait so long to learn this truth and his educational experience will mirror the learning I am trying to provide at home about issues of racial and social justice I am happy to support him and everyone in this community as we all learn together, even if that learning can sometimes be hard and cause discomfort. We live in a time when lies are peddled as truth, and folks often allow their fear and ignorance to overcome their better judgment. However, as a collective, we are stronger than a few loud, angry, fearful, misinformed people who clearly do not understand the importance of our community places on making Clayton both a place where everyone is welcome and there is a truth sense of belonging for all. Thank you to the board and all who continue this work. My family and I believe the greater community of Clayton supports you in teaching our children how to listen to each other, feel and process their feelings in a healthy way, and think critically about social justice.
