Boston Latin School teachers speak out about resignations after tense meeting with Mayor Marty Walsh. The teachers insisted the resignations were due to outside pressure.

The Boston Globe reports:

“The feds are here because of complaints from people who have never been in this school,” Flynn said. “If you find a school where kids are more respectful to each other, let me know.”

The federal investigation, which is being conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as a separate probe by the district’s Office of Equity, came after two students posted a YouTube video criticizing Teta and other administrators for ignoring or not taking seriously complaints of racism. The Office of Equity found that administrators violated school policy in the handling of one of seven reported incidents.

Some of the reported incidents are more than five years old, Flynn said.

“They were asked to think about racist incidents and needed to write something down,” he said.

He went on to say that people believe the school did nothing to address the complaints, which isn’t true. In February, he said, the School Department and the mayor should’ve issued a statement saying the school could’ve done more in some incidents, but that they would work with the administration to address the way complaints should be handled in the future.

Instead, he said, the existing narrative is that the school did absolutely nothing because Walsh and Chang didn’t stop that rumor.
