I applaud Dr. Sauce and his team for approaching the behavior and speech ignited by this past election season with discernment and care; and I hope that other schools in our district, state, and country will create even more spaces for students and faculty to wrestle through these difficult issues as our country tries to find a way to bring itself together.

I have also been told that "people in Ashford Park don't spend $700,000 on a house for their kids to go to Cross Keys."

I believe if people want to spend a lot of money for their children's education, then they are welcome to attend private school.
