School board in Missouri controlled by conservatives revokes anti-racism resolution amid national controversy

  • In August 2020, the Francis Howell School District passed an anti-racism resolution after protests over George Floyd's death.
  • The resolution aimed to speak out against racism and promote racial healing, especially for students of color.
  • New conservative board members have now revoked the resolution, sparking backlash.
  • School board elections have become political battlegrounds over race, gender, and sexuality policies.
  • The NAACP president says the revocation sets a precedent for similar actions nationwide.
