Teachers and administrators at Centennial Elementary School have done nothing wrong, but we cannot say the same for the adults who are making the school a target for conservative anger. That anger manifested itself this week when a man pretending to be a father of a future student gained entry to the school and then berated school staff because of an effort to teach students about the Black Lives Matter movement. “Racial and educational equity is our collective responsibility and while Centennial has been a flashpoint for this conversation, in Denver Public Schools, equity is a core value for us,” said Tony Smith, the head of the district’s diversity and inclusion programs. Smith said the community has rallied around the teachers, staff and students because they are “committed to the idea that racial equity is important.” Those who have riled up this anger at an elementary school’s principal and staff are the villains in this story, not those who are in good faith attempting to create a welcoming and inclusive public school that serves the needs of all students regardless of race, gender, nationality, religion or sexual orientation.
