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!

Angry? Take action!

1) Contact Superintendent Jeff Collum by phone: (501) 450-4800 or email: collumj@conwayschools.net to let him know racism has no place in Conway Schools.

2) Purchase books on Black History Month, racial justice, and Black joy! Purchase here: bit.ly/3yMWoIT. We just added tons of new titles to choose from.

3) We have a fundraiser! Purchase a t-shirt or sweatshirt here: bonfire.com/black-history-…. All proceeds will go to the Pine Street CommUnity Museum working to preserve Conway's Black history.

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.
