Elections were held at Everett Middle School Oct. 10, but on Oct. 14 principal Lena Van Haren sent an email to parents saying the results were being ignored, without being made public, because those elected did not reflect how diverse the school is. While Everett is more than 80 percent non-white, Van Haren said the election results “weren’t representative” of that.

So were only the white kids allowed to vote? What is she even trying to say?

At least she self-corrected her own knee-jerk.

This is a teachable moment not limited to students.

This should be in the unsorted forum. There is no need to debate on how stupid this woman is.

You got to commend the principal for being 'considerate' to have at least done something about this. She means well.

She means well?

Not liking the racial results of an election where all students get to vote results in wanting to cancel the election results = "means well".

No, she doesn't mean well, she is an idiot and another member of the media/PC crowd that has over run this country.

The white kids probably gave the most impact full speech.

I find the contrasting of "whites" and "people of color" disparaging.

From her initial letter to parents: “We’re not nullifying the election, we’re not cancelling the election and we’re not saying this didn’t count,” Van Haren said.

Yes it should be, it's racists. Have to fix racism from both sides to make progress.

And the rest?..... Stopped counting in the middle of the election results?... A "learning experience"? No, she didn't like the results, she didn't think they were fair so she tried to do something about it.

It is as much a story as "clock boy" or any of the other click bait stories that come out every week or so.

She is silening the voices of students of colour who voted for those candidates.

This is further oppressing an already marginalized community.
