The following message was proffered this morning to our school community as part of our morning announcement protocol.
“In light of the recent grand jury verdict in Ferguson, Missouri, I thought it pertinent to recognize the significance of events there. As a laboratories of democracy, schools should provide space for varieties of views to co-exist and this is and should remain particularly true at Maggie Walker Governor’s School. Whether you agree or disagree with the grand jury finding, it serves as a unique opportunity to debate certain aspects of our democratic system and the social contract that binds us as one nation.”
