Thread: (1/9) I've been in Dem politics for 14 yrs. I'm incredibly frustrated & disappointed at the lack of bold leadership, esp. when our hopes were so high after reclaiming the WH in 2020. I am angry. Most of my friends are furious.

I used the released personnel file of #DerekChauvin and cross-referenced @EdNCES hist. data to show his MS and HS were 94% white and less than 2% black. We know kids who attend diverse schools harbor fewer prejudices #GeorgeFloyd #Statistics #integration usatoday.com/story/opinion/2…
