"Objectivity, balanced points of view, and not identifying personal positions on controversial issues is part of Board policy. Board policy provides guidelines for Cobb students and staff to teach and learn about controversial issues and directs teachers to use classrooms to teach, not influence students towards any side of any political or partisan issue."
That's the unofficial statement of the school on the controversy. They probably would have been better off going with "February's over, time to move on." Although it leaves one wondering if they try to teach Dr. King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
Or if they prefer to reduce Dr. King to a man who had a dream, and isn't that nice, kiddies?
I'm also unclear what the "personal positions on controversial issues" is with this door decoration. Is there a counter-argument that the people named there deserved to die? Or is the controversy that black lives matter?
