High School Forces Kids to Attend ‘Racial Identity’ Classes on MLK Jr. Day
13th January 2016
New Trier High School, one of the country’s top public schools, is forcing students to attend seminars on racial identity on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
“The goals for this day are to help New Trier students develop a deeper understanding of their own racial identities and the identities of others, and to better understand how we can all work to counter the impact of systemic racism in our lives,” reads a statement on the school district’s website.
Attendance is mandatory, though other public institutions in New Trier Township will be closed in observance of the holiday.
I would move to another school, even if I had to run away from home.
