Washington State School Reopening Option Prioritizes ‘Students of Color’
“The state of Washington’s school district planning guide for reopening public schools gives an example of a possible “phased-in opening” in which “students furthest from educational justice,” would be given priority to have face-to-face instruction, a category that includes “students of color.”

OSPI’S 2020–21 COMMITMENT
The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) is following a process to evaluate and prioritize our supports and expectations for school districts as a parallel exercise to the work school districts have engaged in this spring to narrow and focus educational delivery. The following is an articulation of our commitments for 2020–21, and we expect districts will make these priorities in their work.

The impacts of fear, hatred, and systemic and structural racism within institutions cannot be ignored, and they yield tragic outcomes. Washington’s public education system must engage in anti-racist capacity building, leadership, and resource allocation. Dismantling systemically racist structures will make progress on inclusivity and will better serve students of color, students with disabilities, students who are English learners, students who are migratory, students experiencing homelessness, students in foster care, students experiencing intergenerational poverty, and students who identify as LGBTQ+.
The work of Washington public schools is to prepare students for postsecondary pathways, careers, and civic engagement. Washington must create the conditions for each student to be educated in racially literate, culturally sustaining, positive, and predictable environments that intentionally prioritize the instruction and development of social-emotional skills, and mental health in addition to our primary focus on academic content.

And targeted at kids. Nice.
Sports teams with predominantly persons of color given accommodations for the struggle. Inner city schools at or above certain race percentages only need to gain 7 yards for a first down.
Predominantly white schools will play with an 8 second shot clock and only allowed 2 personal fouls per individual.
At this rate my kid might have a shot to make the HS basketball team.

Holding those views is the first real example of systemic racism I’ve seen. Funny thing is the white liberals don’t even realize it.

K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE: Back to School? “No Thanks” Say Millions of New Homeschooling Parents. “According to a recent USA Today/Ipsos poll, 60 percent of parents surveyed said they will likely choose at-home learning this fall rather than send their children to school even if the schools reopen for in-person learning.”
All is proceeding as I have foreseen, only with a big boost from Covid-19.
