 | STEM4US! Urges DC Leaders to Rehire
Former DC Chancellor Antwan Wilson
Recently, Dr. Antwan Wilson resigned his post as DC Schools Chancellor after approving a transfer of his daughter to attend one of the best high school's in the District. This move was in violation of rules apparently developed around the era of racial discrimination in the District. These rules were designed to keep African American students from flocking into schools in affluent neighborhoods.
STEM4US! urges District leaders to return Dr. Wilson to his post and to afford him the chance to make amends by once and for all fixing long-neglected DC schools. We urge that Dr. Wilson be armed with the STEM and other resources needed to make all DC schools just as good as schools in more affluent neighborhoods.
Click the picture above for a video on why stands by Dr. Wilson. Contact DC Mayor Bowser, Chairman Mendelson, Councilman Grosso, and Councilman Robert Whiteand urge them to give Antwan the opportunity to return to his job.
Also, join STEM4US! tomorrow, Saturday, for a Rally to support DC teachers who also stand with Dr. Wilson. Read below for more details on the Rally. |
