Amery School board scolds parent for quoting from book they approved
Vierkant drew from a profanity-laced exchange between a vile — and fictional — cop — and the main character, a black teen named Justyce. Vierkant literally spelled out the F-bombs and other profane language in the section. He stopped and asked, “Do I need to go further?”
“Please not,” urged board member Erin Hosking. “I’m not even sure what the point is. I’d like for you to explain the point but I don’t think we need that kind of language being spelled out.”
And that’s the point, isn’t it? If school board members bristle at “that kind of language” at a school board meeting of adults, should they be comfortable with it in school curriculum?
For Vierkant, it’s not necessarily the language. It’s the overall message, It’s the leftist lessons indoctrinating young minds into believing all police officers are racists, are villains, the bad guys. It’s the broad brush, the sweeping generalities at the core of the “white privilege” education model that demands that America is a land of white supremacy steeped in systemic racism.
