School Board That Recently Flipped Conservative Revokes ‘Anti-Racism’ Policy

A school board that recently flipped to a conservative majority rescinded an anti-racism resolution Thursday that was enacted in 2020 following the death of George Floyd, according to The Associated Press.

The Francis Howell School Board outside of St. Louis, Missouri, voted to revoke an anti-racism resolution and remove all copies and references to the policy from around school buildings, according to the AP. The resolution was initially adopted following the death of George Floyd in May 2020 when other school boards were putting an emphasis on anti-racism initiatives in curricula.

“I do not feel the school district needs a resolution against every evil in society that we are against, such as racism,” Randy Cook, Francis Howell School Board vice president, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
