Conway Superintendent Jeff Collum issued a directive prohibiting CPSD coaches from wearing attire at school athletic events that mention “Celebrate Black History." He doesn't think it's appropriate for staff to wear attire that expressed support for groups that "resemble a cult".
Our school superintendent believes the Black community is a cult. Let's show him that Black history, culture, joy, and resistance belong in Conway schools. RT if you agree!

As Tennille Lasker, a Conway resident said perfectly. Black students and familes are only as valuable as they can play sports and win trophies.
Shame on @ConwaySchools.
