What message are the Superintendent and the Piqua Board of Education sending and/or reinforcing to our young women in the aftermath of the Ray Rice incident and this morning’s acquittal of Oscar Pretorius, as well as the thousands of daily incidents of intimate terrorism that go unreported. What message are the Superintendent and the Piqua Board of Education sending and/or reinforcing to our students of color in the wake of historical domestic terrorism and the contemporary stereotypes and indignities frequently occurring in the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin ‘justifiable’ murder and events occurring in Ferguson and other locals in America. What message are the Superintendent and the Piqua Board of Education sending and/or reinforcing to our foreign born or immigrant student population and community when decisions are made that show the value of one American life and the indifference or disregard of hundreds of thousands of others. Doing the RIGHT Thing This concept embodies the concern over the historical bias in naming patterns and the contemporary artificial barriers limiting the expansion of ownership identity to public properties, and thus further imposing limitations upon those individuals belonging to groups that had traditionally been denied consideration. RIGHT seeks to re-evaluate the standards of heroism and societal acceptance of those who may have been deemed not to be valued or worthy of having their names adorn public facilities. RIGHT advocates a proactive effort in naming public properties that is more reflective of the diversity within the community and that acknowledges from a historical perspective the merit of greater inclusion with regards to race, gender, ethnic and national origin in expanding ownership identity. https://youtube/watch?v=E7fQx3rOIMk
