Conservative-controlled Missouri school board revokes anti-racism resolution

The Francis Howell School District in Missouri, which had previously passed an anti-racism resolution in response to protests following the killing of George Floyd, has now revoked the resolution under the leadership of new conservative board members. The resolution, which pledged to speak out against racism and discrimination, will be removed from school buildings. The decision reflects a larger trend of political battles over school board elections, with conservative candidates promising to take action against teachings on race and sexuality. The move has sparked controversy and concerns about the future direction of the district.
