The move infuriated parents and quickly gained the attention of Georgia House Speaker David Ralston, gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp, and others who denounced the decision.
“I’m sure our House Education Committee will examine whether taxpayer funds should be used to instill such a divisive ideology in our students,” Ralston posted online, the AJC reports.
In less than a day, school officials reversed course.
Zelski’s announcement was wiped from the school’s website and replaced with a statement from Lia Santos, chairwoman of the school’s governing board.
Educrats see the light when they feel the heat. However, if any parent who objected made their names public, they'd better watch like so many hawks for retaliation against their children. This episode will be over when Lara Zelski is no longer associated with this charter school, or the parents' children graduate.
