Community groups are planning to come together on Saturday to rally for inclusive education.
The Santa Barbara County Democratic Party, Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County, and Planned Parenthood Central Coast Action Fund are hosting the event at the local Democratic Party office.
The event is open to the public in an effort to galvanize support for “school board candidates throughout South County who champion inclusive policies for our schools,” according to a press release. Several candidates and student leaders will reportedly be in attendance.
“These inclusive education candidates know that by giving every student that enters our schools an accessible learning experience that respects them, includes them in the classroom, and addresses whatever unique challenges they may face, we ensure that all children have the best chance of entering further education and the world beyond at the fair, equal level they deserve,” said Finnegan Wright, Dos Pueblos High School student.
Event organizers state this election has competitive races for nearly every school board seat with some candidates being opposed to comprehensive sex education, ethnic studies, and implicit bias training.
The rally starts at 10:00 a.m. at 123 E. Carrillo Street. More information is available here.

Hate is taught at home. Only see one side here preaching hate.
No, really. Who are they organizing for? It’s a relevant question. People should know. What’s wrong with that?
Keep politics both sides out of schools! Let the kids be kids. Jezzz
Exactly. Without influence from the biases of their parents, kids would be inclusive by nature.
