Florida School District Apologizes for Racially Biased Assembly Targeting Black Students' Test Scores

Officials from the Flagler County school district in Florida have apologized for an elementary school assembly at Bunnell Elementary School where Black students were singled out for a presentation on low test scores. The school's principal has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. The presentation, led by two Black teachers, discussed how students with higher grades had a better chance of going to college, while those with lower grades had a higher chance of going to jail, getting shot, or getting killed. The district stated that the assembly was a "horrible, horrific mistake" and does not reflect their values. A community forum will be held to address the incident.
