This week we learned of the tragic killings of eight people, including six Asian American women in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The impact of these killings weighs heavily on our school community and particularly on our Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community members. Nationally, members of the AAPI community have experienced increasing incidents of hate speech and violence during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The McFarland School District is fully committed to creating and sustaining a school community where every child is a promise, and where all students, families and staff are safe, welcomed, and valued. As a district, we unequivocally condemn racism, hate speech, bigotry, and all forms of discrimination. These behaviors harm students - they harm all of us. There is no place for racism or any other form of discrimination in our community, and certainly not in our schools.
