School board in conservative district revokes anti-racism resolution passed in response to George Floyd’s death: ‘How effective has it really been?’

A school board in a conservative county in Missouri has revoked several resolutions, including a resolution designed to “promote racial healing, especially for our Black and brown students and families.”

On Thursday, the Francis Howell School District Board of Education in St. Charles County, Missouri, along the Mississippi River just north of St. Louis, voted to rescind several resolutions automatically. However, the resolution that has drawn the most attention is the one passed in 2020 shortly after the death of George Floyd.
