Samia Shoman oversees curriculum in the San Mateo Union High School district as manager of English Learners and Academic Support Programs.
A California district administrator involved in overseeing curriculum, Samia Shoman, called for “privileged White voices” to be removed from influencing against a far-left ethnic studies curriculum.
Shoman contacted the California State superintendent, Tony Thurmond, in March 2021. Shoman blasted “white voices” and said they should have no part in influencing the curriculum. Shoman went on to call for a more extreme version of the proposed Black Lives Matter curriculum lesson.“[E]ven in the African American lesson on the Black Lives Matter movement, which is a direct response white supremacy fails to call out and analyze racism and systemic oppression,” she said.
“This is grossly inaccurate, and has no institutional history,” she said about including Jews in ethnic studies under the AAPI umbrella.
