Co-editors of LHS newspaper discuss "adverse effects" of "Courageous Conversations"

I have discussed USD 497's no-bid contract with the Pacific Educational Group's "Courageous Conversations" in earlier posts. In the latest issue of The Budget, LHS's newspaper, the co-editors also take on PEG and "Courageous Conversations":

In an effort to bridge the gap, the district allots a great sum of money to the Pacific Educational Group to instruct teachers regarding how to have “Courageous Conversations” about race. The goal of this program is to create equality and discuss racial disparities, but it has proven to have adverse effects.

One of the most difficult issues with this program is how it is being handled. Most teachers aren’t recieving [sic] significant training. Instead of teachers volunteering their time to participate in these workshops, teachers must find substitute teachers for the days they attend. However, there isn’t a large enough budget and there aren’t enough substitutes for all of the teachers to be able to go.

Additionally, white students are not given the opportunity to get involved in these conversations. Students of color, however, are invited to attend leadership symposiums with individuals of their respective race.

These LHS students see that it is wrong to treat students of different races differently. Why can't the radicals on the Lawrence School Board see the same thing and stop wasting our tax dollars on this Marxist and racist program?
