Anti-racism posters seemed like a good idea at the time
PARENTS ARE UNDERSTANDABLY SENSITIVE about what their kids are being taught in school, and they don’t like surprises.
Thus, when it came to light that schools in the Gold Trail School District — which includes Cache Creek, Ashcroft, Clinton and other communities — were displaying anti-racism posters about “white privilege,” they pushed back.
One of the posters featured a photo of superintendent of schools Teresa Downs with the quote, “I have unfairly benefitted from the colour of my skin. White privilege is not acceptable.”
