Michelle Buehlmann, a parent, and Aaron Scheultz, Yorktown High School science teacher, attend the school board meeting. Buehlmann, a former Republican staffer, said the educational professionals are doing something right: “These signs have had an impact in the school. We would not be here tonight if they hadn’t. They made the Democratic-leaning sudents feel enfranchised, and at the same time the Republican-leaning students still felt empowered enough to speak up.”

School Board promises action as they hear some students do not feel safe.
They walked to the podium: black, white, Latino, student, teacher, parent. They talked about two signs: one saying “Black Lives Matter,” the other saying, “Patriots know: science is real, facts are not political, women’s rights are human rights, we are all immigrants, diversity strengthens us, justice is for all, kindness is everything.”
