THE CROTON CHRONICLE--COMMENTARY: IS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSIVITY (DEI) POLICY READY FOR PRIME TIME?

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

COMMENTARY: IS THE BOARD OF EDUCATION'S PROPOSED DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSIVITY (DEI) POLICY READ FOR PRIME TIME?

Some parents say that episodes last November in which middle school students allegedly shared swastika images were not well handled by the district.

MICHAEL BALTER

Last week, on May 2, the Croton-Harmon Board of Education held a three hour work session on its proposed new diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policy (video of the session can be found here.) This came after many months of work by the Board’s Policy Committee on drafts of the document, in which both the wording and the basic approaches were discussed.

One major issue for the Policy Committee was how “prescriptive” the policy should be, that is, to what extent it should tell the district administration what it should be doing versus giving school officials the primary responsibility for figuring that out. In putting together a draft policy for our district, the Policy Committee borrowed liberally from policies already adopted by some other school districts in the region, including Ossining and Chappaqua.

TIDES FOUNDATION, BLM, MELINA ABDULLAH, ANTI-ISRAEL PROTEST GROUPS---BLM GLOBAL NETWORK SUES GROUP HELPING FUND COLLEGE PROTESTS

A progressive non-profit that has been shelling out cash to anti-Israel protest groups is being sued by Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for fraud and withholding more than $33 million in donations, a bombshell lawsuit claims.

Tides Foundation, which has managed hundreds of millions in donations for progressive groups since it was founded in 1976, has “refused to honor its promises and continues to commandeer BLMGNF’s donations,” according to the 285-page lawsuit filed in California Superior Court, Los Angeles County, on Monday.

Instead, Tides doled out an undisclosed amount of donations to a radical BLM breakaway group run by anti-police activist Melina Abdullah — who lost a “frivolous” lawsuit against BLMGNF — according to court papers and an attorney for BLMGNF.
