Reply to comment by Unique-Public-8594 in Highgate town council rescinds inclusion and diversity statement by amoebashephard

When you serve on a select board and make a move like this, and give no clear basis, yes, that does imply things. You serve and represent the town residents and owe them clarity, transparency, and inclusion.

They honestly don't need to give a reason, and in today's political climate, it's in their best interest not to.

And you're hoping that they get in legal trouble for NOT signing a document, because if they do not, they are being discriminatory????

Sounds like you've made up your mind: if you don't buy into this declaration and champion it then you're racist and discriminatory. Accurate?

That’s fair. I do feel strongly. Yes.

That image of George Floyd’s death is etched not just in my brain but in my heart and it changed me so that I am now more of an advocate.

The problem is that they already signed it and then rescinded it, right? That's where the questions come up.
