Misconduct & Divisive Ideologies: A Parents’ Plea for Course Correction, Transparency, and Political Neutrality in the Southern Lehigh School District
We are the parents of two children enrolled in the Southern Lehigh School District. In 2021, we asked some very basic questions of the Superintendent at the time in response to the announcement of an “Equity” survey being performed as part of a “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) initiative. Our key question was simple: “How does SLSD define Equity?” We asked because we were aware of a number of odd things being done in the name of “equity” around the country at that time. She artfully dodged our questions and then stopped responding to us entirely. To this day we still don’t have an answer to that most basic of questions.
The report below is the result of more than two years of attempts to understand what is happening in our school district in the name of “DEI.” What we found in the thousands of records we obtained surprised and disappointed us. As you will see in the report itself, starting in Section 5 (p.15) and continuing through Section 12 (ending at p.238), every assertion we make about what someone said or did is directly supported by the district’s own emails and other records. Unless we had a district record to support an assertion, we did not make it.
We hope you find the report informative and helpful in understanding the path our school district has been taken down by a group of people that have put politics over students.
