Recent news articles have highlighted the plight of Dr. Andrea Kane, the Superintendent of schools of Queen Anne’s County.  In a recent lengthy newsletter to parents  she included the need for the students to become more educated on the issue of racism and related topics.  Some parents and other supporters are upset because they view this as her imposing her political beliefs on the students which “violates school’s policy.”  Consequently a large group Of parents(700+) have signed a petition demanding her removal.  Opposition support groups and neighboring county Boards of Education have supported Dr. Kane. Previously Dr. Kane served 22 years in Anne Arundel County which included serving as a school principal.  More info here.
