Hosang’s Racist Email

One thing missing from the AI summary below are comments made by Vice Chair Andrea Donnor at the end of this week’s meeting. Donnor has faced retaliation from rightwing supporters of board member Michael Hosang after she called out his racist remarks at last month’s meeting, including his insinuation that students who speak languages other than English are not in the country legally.

Donnor claimed that Hosang, who had been subtle in his discrimination against non-English speaking students publicly, had been more explicit in an email he had sent to school administration requesting information about 20 “Spanish-speaking males” that had started recently at Warhill High School. Donnor said that only six students representing different genders and ethnicities at started at the school earlier this year.

Donnor then went on to quote Hosang’s email about parents being notified when non-English speaking students arrive at a school:

“Our children's safety is at issue here, especially if these individuals are undocumented, illegal, all coming in at once, especially with the attention around the country of illegals raping, killing others, including students,” Hosang allegedly said.

I have filed a FOIA request for Hosang’s email to confirm Donnor’s claim, which I will share with y’all once the school division provides it.

And now for the AI-generated summary of the school board meeting
