Text Fall Out in the Boston City School Committee. Today, Boston School Committee member Alexandra Oliver-Dávila has resigned, making it the third council member to resign after being exposed for engaging in racially insensitive language. A racially charged text exchange between members Lorna Rivera and Alexandra Oliver-Dávila where West Roxbury parents were referred to as “Westie Whites” and “delusional” was made public prompting the resignations. In addition, Michael Loconto, former chairman of the committee, resigned last fall after an inappropriate hot mic comment mocking Asian names of attendees at the same meeting. Do we need a clean sweep of the Boston school committee?
President Obama Throws Shade on the GOP. In a CNN sit down, Former President Barack Obama says Republicans have been "cowed into accepting" a series of positions that are "unrecognizable and unacceptable" which makes him worry about the state of democracy. He also says he does not understand the GOP's preoccupation with Critical Race Theory when there are much more important issues on the table. Do you agree with the former president that CRT is benign?
