Connecticut Centinal There has been a lot of controversy recently at Greenwich public schools, so we thought we’d reach out to newly-minted Greenwich BOE Chairman Joe Kelly and ask him a few questions on the issues causing outrage in the town. He agreed to speak without hesitation.
ON CRT – Kelly reiterated statements from Greenwich education officials saying that ‘CRT is not taught in Greenwich public schools.’ However, he allowed for the fact that certain teachers may be teaching ‘reverse racism’ as he described it. “I’m as white as they come, my family is from Ireland. Teaching that a certain group of people are bad simply because of their skin color is not okay and not acceptable, such as the concept of ‘white privilege’.”
Kelly suggested he will continue conversations with other BOE members and come up with a policy on how to handle these situations when they come up; ie, when teachers are found teaching CRT concepts. “We need to draft a policy”, he declared.
