A school board in Florida revised language in its “equity statement” after facing backlash from parents who said it contained divisive language, including the term “White advantage.”
A portion of the Palm Beach County school board’s equity statement, enacted in May, stated that the school district was “committed to dismantling structures rooted in [W]hite advantage.”
The statement received weeks of heavy backlash from hundreds of parents, and board member Karen Brill proposed nixing the term last week as a result. On Wednesday, the board voted in a split 4-3 decision to change the language, the Palm Beach Post reported.
