I think this paragraph should be read during the public comment segment at
the next Princeton BOE meeting.

Dear Roberto & others:

This quote (*) [page 14] is the key section in the NEA document.  We may
present this issue to our professional organization.

Keep  this in mind: NEA is one of the most progressive organizations in
our state and the nation and its educators (rank and file of NEA) are the
most progressive public servants of all public employees.  Second, NEA
membership is highly diverse.

In solidarity,

Maria del Carmen Rodriguez

Quote from page 14:

New I. White Supremacy Culture13 The National Education Association
believes that, in order to achieve racial and social justice, educators
must 14 acknowledge the existence of White supremacy culture as a primary
root cause of institutional racism, structural 15 racism, and White
privilege. Additionally, the Association believes that the norms,
standards, and organizational 16 structures manifested in White supremacy
culture perpetually exploit and oppress people of color and serve as 17
detriments to racial justice. Further, the invisible racial benefits of
White privilege, which are automatically 18 conferred irrespective of
wealth, gender, and other factors, severely limit opportunities for people
of color and 19 impede full achievement of racial and social justice.
Therefore, the Association will actively advocate for social 20 and
educational strategies fostering the eradication of institutional racism
and White privilege perpetuated by 21 White supremacy culture.(2018)
