It’s a shame that reporter Joe Napsha decided to highlight a very brief display regarding critical race theory at the end of the March 14 Norwin School Board meeting (“Norwin debate continues in regards to systemic racism, critical race theory,” March 16, TribLIVE).

Much more impactful were the presentations by some Norwin students, which were only briefly mentioned. They were heartfelt thoughts that were very professionally delivered that portrayed their characterizations of some of the board members’ recent actions and statements. Maybe a video of their calm and impactful presentations that highlighted student accomplishments and praise for their teachers should also have been included. But then again, the “media” always needs to sensationalize whatever they deem a hot button.
