DID YOU KNOW THAT…

• Every white Carmel teacher is a racial supremacist?

We didn’t either, but one could reasonably assume this is the case based on Carmel’s new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) officer’s district-wide summer book reading for all teachers. The work is Layla Saad’s Me and White Supremacy, described by its author as leading “readers through a journey of understanding their white privilege and participation in white supremacy… .”

• Law enforcement officers are untrustworthy and racist? This came as a shock to us, too, but Carmel’s new DEI officer is encouraging this thinking by recommending that your children read Something Happened in Our Town: A Child’s Story about Racial Injustice. This book, available now in Carmel school libraries, teaches children to distrust police and even believe that they stop, arrest, and kill Black people for no other reason than their race. We’d like to hear what Carmel’s SRO officers and police department think about that plot.
