Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The following statement is just in from the Hanover Unity Council. It is
copied and pasted as it was submitted to Around Town on the Web. There is
an attachment from the HUC for your review, also.
“We hope this finds you healthy and happy as we near the end of 2021,
another often difficult year.
Many of you are aware that an optional Anti-Bias Leadership program as well
as a program supported by Raising Multicultural Kids were started in the
high school and elementary schools, respectively. The HHS program is
funded by a grant in partnership with Boston University and the
Anti-Defamation League. The high school level program is already being
taught in 77 Massachusetts cities and towns. Unfortunately, a group of
Hanover parents and citizens has brought loud protests against this
program. At this time, due to many factors including the backlash, the
programs have been put on hold.
The Hanover Unity Council stands in strong support of both the Anti-Bias
Leadership Program and the Raising Multicultural Kids program that is set
to resume in 2022.
On the attached pages, you will find our statement and petition in support
of the programs. We are planning to submit the statement and signatures to
the School Committee. If you are a Hanover resident and are in support of
the programs, we ask that you print and manually sign the petition and
return to us by January 3. If you would like to collect additional
signatures, we welcome your help as well. Please scan and email to
hanoverunitycouncil@gmail.com.
We hold our monthly meetings on the second Tuesday of each month. Please
email us at hanoverunitycouncil@gmail.com if you would like to be added to
the meeting distribution list.
Thank you in advance. We appreciate your continued support.
Hanover Unity Council Steering Committee”
