Education Matters: Public comments under fire

Marsha Sutton October 10, 2023
What goes with the territory of being an elected official on a school board is hearing from the public. It may be inconvenient, tedious or make some uncomfortable (few people come to school boards with praise), but hearing criticism is part of the job description.

Education Matters: The controversy over Diversity Equity Inclusion Belonging

Marsha Sutton July 8, 2023
We don’t give our kids enough credit. Give them the chance to learn our country’s history, which is both inspirational and disturbing, and have faith that they can be critical thinkers who can be empowered to participate fully and intelligently in shaping America’s future. Students want this, teachers want this, and communities need this.

Marsha Sutton June 14, 2023

Education Matters: Is ethnic studies teaching kids what, or how, to think?

Marsha Sutton March 31, 2023
No one can deny that students need, now more than ever, a place of learning where acceptance of the “other” can be advanced and where under-represented student populations can learn about their own histories with pride and dignity. It’s how to apply those worthy objectives is where it gets tricky.

Education Matters: Carlsbad tackles Diversity Equity Inclusion plan

Marsha Sutton March 17, 2023
Ethnic and racial studies programs have been labeled cultural indoctrination simply for attempting to help children understand the brutal effects that hate speech, bullying and harassment can have. Helping children understand this, and providing support to those victimized, are worthy lessons that kids need now more than ever.
