Washougal School Board Endorses Racist CRT Curriculum
:pnwfreedom.com, 07Jun 2021
Hundreds of concerned parents have
recently spoken out in disapproval of CRT (Critical Race
Theory) in the Washougal School Curriculum. However, the
Washougal school board has evaded this public scrutiny by
dodging questions and feigning ignorance. While the
Washougal, Washington School Board has publicly claimed that
it does not endorse CRT, it is simultaneously pushing an
agenda which judges children by the color of their skin and
other immutable characteristics. Publicly, the school board
claims to not even know what CRT is. Despite this, the
school board seeks to divide students up by color and
socioeconomic status. The following diagram was taken from a
Washougal School District Meeting.

Hundreds rally at Washougal schools
meeting against masks, equity policy change
Large crowd gathers ahead of
Tuesday's board meeting
Columbian, May 25, 2021
... At Tuesday’s
meeting, several spoke during public comment in favor of and
against the district’s equity,
diversity and inclusion policy revision,
which got a second reading by board members. Board Director
Jim Cooper stated the proposed revision is “simple and makes
sense” and quoted a line from the policy that aims to
“create an environment where all individuals are welcomed,
respected, accepted and valued as members of the school
community.”
He concluded his comments by stating:
“To the members of the community who oppose our equity
policy, I have the following to say: If you believe the
district policy should not provide
equal opportunities [equal and equitable
opportunities are opposites in meaning] for
every child, regardless of family income or structure,
language, race, religion, etc., or the district policy
should not welcome and respect every child or if you think
every district teacher and staff member should not be
engaged in helping to create such an equitable educational
environment, then we will have to agree to disagree.”

State group honors Washougal educator
WHS teacher rewarded for ‘dedication
to racial, social, economic justice’
Post Record, March 25, 2021
Washougal educator Charlotte Lartey,
recently named the recipient of the Washington Education
Association Human and Civil Rights Committee’s 2020-21
Elaine Akagi Cultural Awareness award, has not had an easy
year.
Lartey
says her nearly push for more anti-racist training and
policies at the Washougal School District and for more
accountability from district leaders, has led to many
sleepless nights.
For the sake of her mental health,
Lartey took a leave of absence from her job as a Washougal
High School teacher earlier this school year.
“Deciding to step away from my
classroom, when our students (were) struggling so much in
this pandemic, was such a hard decision for me,” she said.
Now, Lartey is back in the classroom
and honored to receive the state education association’s
cultural awareness award.

longer wait to improve its equity policies. He’s reminded of
that fact every time he watches or reads a news report about
racism, police brutality and social injustice in the United
States.
“We know things have been happening in this country for
hundreds of years,” said Hansen, WSD’s assistant
superintendent of human resources and student services. “For
myself personally, seeing these events occurring in society,
it’s so clear to me now that we have to act. We just have to
act.”
