I am writing this letter in response to the one written by Liz Fuller in the July 1 Alexandria Times, “An open letter to the School Board.” In it, she comments on the recent obsession with race by the School Board of Alexandria City Public Schools. She questions this tactic.
Dr. Gregory Hutchings, Ed.D, who has been superintendent for some three years now, and Meagan Alderton, who was elected to the School Board in 2018 and is now chair, repeatedly and deliberately accuse ACPS of “systemic racism.”
As Fuller points out in her letter, this action is divisive. But I would like to add that it is also, clearly, derogatory, offensive and contemptuous of the men, women and children of ACPS – from the School Board and superintendent’s office, through the administrators, faculty and staff, to the wonderful majority-minority students – and beyond, to the people of Alexandria.
To the editor:
Dear School Board and Dr. Gregory Hutchings, Ed.D: I just watched some of the most recent School Board meeting and I could barely focus on its content because your “We’re on an antiracist journey” t-shirts and Zoom backgrounds were so distracting.
I do not know if your intention is to be divisive, but I assure you, that is the result. I very much appreciated the comment of Ms. Seltzer, who emphasized that the focus of the board is education and not politics.
I attended Alexandria City Public Schools my entire life. We were all proud to be Titans. You can ask anyone of any race who ever graduated from T.C. and they will be proud to be a Titan. Indeed, our diversity is what most of us are most proud of in this city, and certainly in the schools.
