MCPS Statement on Anti-Semitism
MCPS and the Board of Education recently issued a statement condemning anti-semitism. The EagleNation also stands behind this statement and agrees that, "we must challenge one another to learn and understand what antisemitism, hatred, and racism are and the harm they cause."
One of our EagleNation students was in contact with a member of the Anti-Defamation League and met with the admin team to share resources from the organization. As follow up to that meeting, the coordinator met early last week with Ms. Shorts and is planning to provide a speaker at Eastern for the early spring. Currently, there is follow up about the logistics of scheduling this experience during the early spring. The date will be added to "Important Dates" when it is confirmed.
