Pennsylvania School District under heavy backlash for its support of administration’s use of the N word and overall lack of emotional sensitivity to its students of color.
The Parkland public school district is located in the Lehigh Valley region of Eastern Pennsylvania and services North Whitehall, South Whitehall, Upper Macungie, and a part of Allentown townships. The school district’s total enrollment as of July 2021 is estimated at 9,572 students. 1/3 of these students are enrolled in Parkland High School, making it the largest school by headcount in the Lehigh Valley. This district has been known to serve students and their families by providing excellent educational curriculums, wholesome extra-curricular activities, and community involvement. However, there is something more that happens within the walls of this school that can no longer go unnoticed.

Mastering Homelessness:
Today, I’d love to draw your attention to something that is near and dear to my heart. It’s a globally known struggle that each one of us, no matter how blessed or well-of we may consider ourselves to be… we all are only a few misfortunes away from… Homelessness. In an environment where people are scrapping for cash, scrapping for opportunities, scrapping for health, scrapping for basic nutrition and shelter, there is very little room for alignment with a capitalist society without the introduction and discussion of the juxtaposition of wealth and poverty and questioning the morality of such a system. The most obviously effective way I could think to demonstrate this idea is through what I’m currently experiencing right now as a resident of North Carolina. There are newly constructed luxury apartment homes in the North Davidson district of Charlotte, NC that offer residents access to music studios, game rooms, co-working spaces, wellness centers, yoga studios, and pet grooming facilities. Three blocks away exists an entire community of people who likely do not own pets, or yoga mats, or need access to music studios. In these three blocks live an entire community of people whose fancy apartments may be a camping tent with ventilation in the summer. How is it that we can drive in our fancy cars, live in our fancy apartments, and drink our fancy cocktails all while ignoring the growth of homelessness right before our eyes?
