I followed with interest your recent articles on the union dispute at Paulo Freire Social Justice Charter School, as well as on the Laroche twins and their successes. (“Protest as charter school axes half its teachers,” June 25, and “Twins’ ‘Two-ition’ fund nears $30K in donations,” June 29). I was principal at PFSJ for three years, and was a founding science teacher at the school, so I know the community very well.
Having a charter focused on social justice was never easy. We deeply explored and questioned ideas of racism in education, and in society more generally, long before the killing of George Floyd and other high-profile acts of racism.
