Kudos to the kids of the Francis Howell school district for speaking out against the elimination of Black history elective courses. ("Francis Howell students walk out to protest school board actions on race, gender issues," Jan. 19.)
Once again, far-right religious conservatives on the school board are attempting to force their will on students, ignoring individual rights. Can’t their children choose other electives is they want? Please, young people, continue to use your voices to stop this whittling away of educational, reproductive, and LGBTQ freedoms.
