A high school senior resigned as the Boston School Committeeâs student representative Thursday, saying administrators had silenced studentsâ voices
and that he had deep concerns about a nonprofit group that oversees the district-wide student council.
Khymani James, 17, a senior at Boston Latin Academy, said he stepped down after concluding that the districtâs leaders, including administrators, staffers, and school board members, were âracist and adultistâ in overlooking concerns by him and his fellow students, most of whom are Black and Latino.
