FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Southwest Allen County School board members met on Tuesday night to vote on a finalized agreement with the group called “Fair For All” to address racial issues within the district. SACS Board members tell our partners in news at 21Alive that they will start six group listening sessions hosted by “Fair For All” staff, beginning on October 11th and 12th.
Officials say that the sessions are for listening only… and not educational classes, and “fair for all” would oversee conversations to collect information. The agreement passed with a four-to-one vote. Board members voted in favor of working with the organization “Fair For All” back on August 15th, to address issues of racism in the district stemming from February’s blackface incident at Homestead High School.

It’s too bad SACS feels forced to utilize tax payer money on this. The whole situation was blown out of proportion. The students feelings were hurt from a ‘public’ (non-school affiliated) video that actually occurred months prior, and made viral in February on purpose.
You first clue this is a bad idea is the name of the group being invited to have a say in the schools. “Fair for All” is not likely to make anything fair or fair for all. Parents should avoid this skeevy group with all abandon. The only “fairness” this society needs is scrupulously abiding by the civil rights protected by the US Constitution and the Indiana Constitution and precepts provided by God in His Word, the Bible.
