School Committee Statement on Events in Washington D.C.
The Natick School Committee condemns the violence and criminal acts that occurred in our capital on Wednesday, January 6, 2021. As a school committee, we commit ourselves to teaching our students how to be actively and respectfully engaged in political discourse at the local. state and national level. We fear that If school districts do not teach our young people what good citizenry is about, the events of January 6th are bound to repeat themselves. Be it resolved that we will work to keep our kids safe and support their flourishing by promoting and supporting education for citizenship.
