It’s been six months since the Davis School District made an agreement to change for the better after a Department of Justice settlement.

District officials now say they are making good on the commitment to being more inclusive and equitable.

"The Loyola Project" tells the story of a 1963 championship basketball team and their battle against racism and inequality on and off the basketball court. Following the documentary, a panel including Gov. Spencer Cox’s senior adviser on equity and opportunity spoke to the high school coaches and athletic directors.

“It’s resonating with our students and our community," Thompson said."Others throughout the state and nation are using the videos now as well, but the videos are the awareness piece on how we treat each other."

If this just goes to the extent of treat others as you would want to be treated deal that is great. However if this ends up giving one group benefits it does not give another or puts down one group to raise another than it just promotes the same thing it is supposed to combat.

I’ll speak up.. Focus on spelling. Focus on math. Focus on Nutrition AND Exercise. That should help boost the kids self esteem and mental health. Parents are the guardians to ensure their child feels safe and can go over equality… we all survived didn’t we?

NJ district will teach new sexual education standards, but on last day of schoolEast Hanover Superintendent Natalee Bartlett outlined the district's plans for the new guidelines, which were adopted two years ago, take effect next fall after a pandemic delay, and have sparked outrage from some parents. One day when it all comes out we will see that the sexual abuse of children committed by teachers will shadow the Catholic Church World just keeps falling…. Who ever decides this should be shown what hell is for 30 sec which is like a lifetime so that they are aware of the damage that they are causing and have the chance to repent of their evil ways. Poor children. Making them become empty confused and mentally unstable. It's a sin!

After-school ‘Satan club’ voted down by school boardA school board in Pennsylvania voted eight to one against approving the after-school program designed for children as young as 5. If you allow one religion, you allow all religions. The Satanic Temple is simply a mirror for religious people to look into. Religion has no place in a tax payer funded educational system. Many tax dollars for education come from Federal Taxes, I would not want to be Dumbing Down some kid in PA so Nilists can tell them the world is burning and God hates everybody .. or whatever their thing is. What exactly is discussed in “satan” club? Bible study I can see has benefits to a “young believer”. Too many focus on the events leading up to the life of Jesus (Old Testament) and forget how all that is still happening now, today! 🙏
