Virginia’s largest school dis­trict will let stu­dents skip a pre­sen­ta­tion from a Holo­caust sur­vivor, say­ing the diverse dis­trict includes stu­dents with “dif­fer­ent expe­ri­ences.”
“We under­stand that all stu­dents have dif­fer­ent expe­ri­ences. If you pre­fer to opt your child out from par­tic­i­pat­ing in this pre­sen­ta­tion, please email your child’s his­to­ry teacher and they will be pro­vid­ed an alter­nate assign­ment.
