(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Kali Fontanilla was supposed to tell students that race would define their lives. But she taught that hard work and taking personal responsibility for their lives would bring them success.
Other teachers told students that the police were out to get them, but she told them to respect the police. Other teachers told them that capitalism is cruel and that communism is not bad.
She was told by the School Board president that she is "anti-people-of-color," which surprised her. She replied, "I am people of color!"
She says that our educational system is obsessed with race and gender. She asks parents to look into what their kids are being taught, and to be vocal if it does not line up with their values.
