Phony Equity, Gender Confusion and Reverse Racism. Eagerly approved by the Board of Education. Bronfeld, Kanter, Kendal vote them out! By Junglien Chen jchen@nobkk.org

All     nine     of     Princeton’s     Board     of Education   members   unanimously agreed   to   hire   our   new   Superintendent Dr.   Caroll   Kelley.   Her    previous   position was   being   the   superintendent   of   Oak Park   Elementary   School   District   97   in Oak    Park,    Illinois    from    2015-2021. During     her     tenure     there     she wholeheartedly    implemented    the agendas    listed    in    the    title    above into every aspect of the school.     There    was    a    Board    of    Education (BoE)     Equity     Committee     meeting back    in    May    for    the    purpose    of gathering   opinions   about   what   does equity   at   our   schools   mean   to   the community.   Present   at   that   meeting were     the     committee     chairperson Bronfeld         and         Baglio         plus Superintendent    Dr.    Kelley.    I    asked them   for   concrete   examples   or   plans to    be    implemented    at    our    schools which    was    to    be    based    on    this abstract     murky     term     they     kept repeating    called    “equity”.    Bronfeld answered   by   looking   up   a   dictionary to   give   me   the   definition   for   the   word equity.   The   chairpersons   then   asked Dr.   Kelley   for   help   but   she   punted   the question   to   the   High   School   Principal. Principal    Chimel’s    answer    was    we have    low    representation    in    certain groups     of     students     at     advance classes   and   we   need   to   have   a   better method    of    communicating    to    them the    academic    advantages    of    taking those   classes   but   if   they   don’t   want to    well    they    don’t    want    to.    The reason   I   am   pointing   out   this   incident is   because   the   two   chairpersons,   who are   BoE   members   that   voted   to   bring on   Dr.   Kelley,   or   the   new   supervisor herself   could   just   tell   me   to   look   at her   accomplishments   at   Oak   Park.   In fact   in   the   announcements   about   the hiring    of    Dr.    Kelley    all    of    the    BoE members    mentioned    that    the    top reason   why   she   was   chosen   was   her success    in    implementing    equity.    So why   are   they   so   reluctant   to   cite   Oak Park   as   the   example   for   Princeton   to emulate? The   two   sources   below   will   provide   a good   synopsis   of   what   has   happened at Oak Park under Dr. Kelley’s tenure. This   is   a   report   from   the   Foundation Against   Intolerance   &   Racism   (FAIR) about    the    Oak    Park    School    District during Dr. Kelley’s time there. h  t  t  p  s  :  /  /  w  w  w .  f  a  i  r  f  o  r  a  l  l  .  o  r  g  /  o  a  k -  p  a  r  k - elementary-school-district-97 “Interracial   couple   fights   critical   race theory”    a    short    video    by    African- American    documentarian    Eli    Steele about   a   black   and   white   interracial couple    discussing    as    parents    their experience   and   reaction   at   what   has happened   at   Oak   Park   School   District.
