Delay of equity lesson draws backlash from educators in Amherst

AMHERST — A group of educators criticized the Amherst County School Board’s recent direction to school administration staff to postpone a lesson plan on equity and social justice, blasting the move during the public comments session of the board’s Jan. 14 meeting. Hollie Jennings, Amherst County Public Schools’ supervisor of discipline and compliance, said the lesson was set to roll out beginning the week of Jan. 11 at Amherst County High School, Amherst Middle School and Monelison Middle School. The term equity refers to striving for culturally responsive schools, Jennings said, and the lesson focused on students analyzing media portrayals of past historical events, forming their own opinion and using skills to solve problems.
