COLUMBUS, Ohio — In a powerful one-minute video, the state’s largest district created a video to show diverse faces that make up Columbus City Schools.
It was created two weeks after eight people were shot and killed at spas in Atlanta, Georgia, in which six of the victims were women of Asian descent.
“I strongly condemn the recent acts of violence toward Asian, Asian-American, and Pacific Islander communities,” Talisa Dixon, superintendent and CEO of Columbus City Schools, said in a statement.
