A Minnesota teen named Brad Taylor gave a speech at a school board meeting where he criticized the district's promotion of activism over education. He talked about feeling excluded by the principal's speech about equality that mentioned all races except his own, and how the school's equity statement created unwarranted boundaries and pitted students against each other. He also mentioned instances where teachers told him that certain statements or viewpoints were political or offensive, and how students who disagreed with their teachers were too scared to speak up for fear of their grades being affected.
