Boston Latin parents protest tone of race seminar

A trio of angry Boston Latin School parents claim that race-related workshops last month featured overtly “anti-white, anti-police sentiment,” in a complaint to city school administrators, according to sources familiar with the confidential document.

The May 20 seminars were described by the school as “teach-ins” that would be “focused on the issue of race and sponsored by the club B.L.A.C.K. (Black Leaders Aspiring for Change and Knowledge),” in an internal memo.

The student club made headlines over the past year after two founders, seniors Meggie Noel and Kylie Webster-Cazeau, released videos slamming the elite exam school’s administrators over a perceived indifference to racial tensions they claimed were roiling the campus. The group’s accusations eventually caught the eye of the New York Times and led to calls from civil rights groups such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts. The advocates joined activists in calling for a Justice Department investigation, which Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz obliged, initiating a probe in early March.

According to sources inside Boston Latin, teachers had the option of whether to bring their classes to the race-related workshops. Students weren’t allowed to opt out of class participation, if elected by their teachers, however.

Parents weren’t provided with the agenda, which was only emailed to teachers the day before the sessions began. The program was developed and finalized outside of Boston Latin by Al Holland, a special consultant to Boston schools Superintendent Tommy Chang, records show. Boston Latin is the nation’s oldest public school.
