Anti-racism posters causing a stir in Gold Trail School District
ASHCROFT, B.C. — An Ashcroft parent is expressing his unhappiness with a poster the Gold Trail School District (SD74) says is aimed at tackling racism in the district.
The poster in question features a photo of Superintendent of Schools Teresa Downs and reads “I have unfairly benefited from the colour of my skin. White privilege is not acceptable.”
“I don’t know if I found it as much offensive as disappointing where it kind of painted everybody in the same brush stroke,” said Jay Duncan, a father of two daughters attending Desert Sands Community School in Ashcroft.
