TV spot about extra racism and homophobia on the Conway college board spurs superintendent e-mail

My, my, for a faculty superintendent who simply acquired his doctoral diploma, Jeff Collum definitely loves these exclamation factors, particularly when he’s labored up.

Right here’s the background: Even conservative Sinclair-owned KATV got interested within the Conway Faculty Board‘s proposed coverage 5.5.2, which is draconian by any measure. The coverage, which board lawyer Jay Bequette drafted on the board’s request, would ban or prohibit the instructing of dozens of ideas starting from important race concept to racial prejudice, the patriarchy and even variety coaching.

The KATV story, which adopted tales by the Arkansas Instances and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, apparently acquired some lecturers nervous. In any case, violators of the coverage would face stiff punishments. So, in an e-mail to workers late final week, Collum wrote that he wished to supply “some readability.”

“This district has said a number of instances … the board was not transferring ahead with Coverage 5.5.2 on the time,” he wrote. Be aware the important thing phrases that hold exhibiting up when college officers talk about this plan — “on the time” or “right now.”

“The board was not on this DRAFT coverage the best way it was written,” Collum added. Once more, Collum qualifies his assertion, this time with the phrases, “the best way it was written.”

“If the board decides to assessment and approve any type of coverage 5.5.2 sooner or later, it might be positioned on a board agenda and comply with the method for coverage assessment and approval,” he wrote.

That principally means the general public will get a 30-day discover of one thing the board already has determined to maneuver forward with it doesn’t matter what the general public says. Working example: The rest room coverage, which mandates that anybody on campus should use the toilet assigned to the gender on their “unique” start certificates. College students uncomfortable with that coverage can request entry to a single-use restroom, successfully being pressured to out themselves even when they like not to take action. Additional, some campus buildings don’t have single-use restrooms.

I doubt board members have contemplated that not all youngsters have prepared entry to their unique start certificates, particularly in the event that they had been adopted from one other nation. In such circumstances, they could have two start certificates — one from their start nation and one from america.

Whereas board members need to ban the likes of books, rainbow flags and the appropriate for the general public to attend ALL public conferences, lecturers are attempting to guard themselves and college students from haters with assault weapons and a preacher who threatened LGBQT college students with “non secular loss of life.” If this college board ever settles down, perhaps the lecturers can once more discover time to show studying, writing and arithmetic.

Right here’s Collum’s full e-mail:
