Hello John,
As you may have already seen, the Nellie Mae Education Foundation, in partnership with our Speakers Bureau, several grantees, and partners, placed an open letter in the Boston Globe on December 5. This letter is in response to the many recent attempts to stop the teaching of systemic racism and the true history of our nation in schools across the country, and in New England specifically.
Our letter calls on educators to protect the truth and ensure New England students have access to the education they deserve, so they are empowered to create change in their communities. We ask that our schools teach students not what is convenient, but what is necessary.
