I told Connie Bernard to her face she needed to resign from the East Baton Rouge School board. •
She was shopping while citizens were speaking about changing the name of Lee High. She was a school board member 4 years ago when they voted to keep Lee associated with the school. Then she chocked a teenager in his home in 2018, she should’ve resigned then. Then she got on TV last week telling Black folks we needed to learn more of Lee’s history. •
When we don’t confront elected officials we give them permission to disrespect us and to devalue us. Connie needs to resign. I stand on that. If you think her actions are unacceptable send an email to the members of the board encouraging Connie to resign. •
Speak truth to power, stand on your convictions, let NONE of them slide, and #KeepPushing. We got work to do. •
I love US for real.
We won the vote to change the name of Lee High, but the work continues until Connie is gone. •
Email the board:
