Parents Fume After All-White School Board Cans Diversity Day—Twice
An Ohio school district’s decision to cancel Diversity Day celebrations—twice—has sparked a bitter feud in the suburban community, leaving students and parents asking why an all-white school board continues to press pause on the celebration.
Diversity Day has been an annual event in the Forest Hills School District—a Cincinnati suburb—since 2017, Fox19 Cincinnati reported. It was originally scheduled for March of the current school year, but was postponed to May 18 due to a permission slip issue and “parent review,” according to Fox19.
Then at a meeting last Sunday, the school board chose to move the event again—but without a new date.
