A group of students protested in front of the San Dieguito Union High School District office on April 11 for their voices and experiences to be heard about issues with discrimination they face at school. In their third demonstration since last August, protestors held signs that read messages such as “No one is free when others are oppressed” and “All students deserve to feel safe”.
The students are asking for diversity training for board members, administration and staff; a more diverse curriculum; and establishing a districtwide equity committee that includes BIPOC and LGBTQ+ students, teachers and representatives from advocacy organizations to have honest discussions on diversity and inclusion.
