Washington elementary excludes White students from ‘safe space’ club, mentor program, email shows
OSD sent Fox News Digital a statement saying that the group allows for"more honest and open conversations" surrounding identity but added that they will remove any exclusions to participation.
"It serves students by providing opportunities for peer interaction and a space for social, emotional and academic support. This space allows for more honest and open conversations about differences and identity and how it impacts one’s experiences in school. It is designed to be a student-led group facilitated by an adviser to plan for leadership opportunities," said Susan Gifford, OSD executive director of communications and community relations.
"Groups like this are important for elevating voices and are instrumental in helping our district design a responsive educational experience that meets the needs of all students," she added."At the same time, we recognize that they cannot be exclusionary. Moving forward, we will ensure that school leadership and staff are specific about the purpose of these groups, while simultaneously removing any exclusions to participation.
