A school board in Pennsylvania had voted 8-1 this week against allowing one of their school board colleagues, Gregory D’Elia, to become the president of the board because he is a “cis, white male.”
“I believe that Mr. D’Elia would make an excellent president,” Upper Moreland School Board member Jennifer Solot said during the vote on Tuesday in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. “However, I feel that electing the only cis, white male president of this district sends the wrong message to our community — a message that is contrary to what we as a board have been trying to accomplish.
After Solot’s remarks and during the vote, school board member Sarah Byrnes hesitated and said, “This is very hard to do as the new person on the board.”
