Letter Circulating, Urging Pasco Teachers to Opt Out of Union
In the wake of controversial comments made during last Tuesday s Pasco School District School Board meeting by PAE (Pasco Association of Educators) President Scott Wilson, a letter is circulating urging teachers to opt out of the union.
The story about Wilson s comments went viral, national, which included being picked up and reported on by AM 770 KTTH in Seattle and Breitbart.com.
Wilson equated parents who want children to return to class in person, or hybrid, as being guilty of
white privilege. In another letter
clarifying his comments, Wilson didn t retract but instead viewed it as a teaching moment, implying parents-students and others in District are ignorant or need to be educated in the inherent or systemic racism of our society.
