To give some insight, Ryan gave a DEI presentation to our school's PTA that talked about how traditional views of professionalism such as civil discourse, adherence to policies and procedures, being analytical, and grammatical proficiency, were rooted in white supremacy. She emphasized we should not strive for or expect professionalism at all as it is a white supremacy concept and tool to keep people down. I can be open to other characteristics defining competence but to Tom's earlier comment, a lot of this stuff isn't aging well given what has occurred over the last few years with this board and administration.

Do you know if your PTA paid for that presentation?

I think I know where your head's at! But I don't believe so. At least I didn't see an invoice.

OK. Just had to ask. I'm not writing a story on this or implying anything untoward, just wondering.
