Parents wanted to opt their children out of Black History Month. A Utah school 'reluctantly' let them.
When Black History Month began last week, some parents in the predominantly White community of North Ogden, Utah, didn't see why their children had to participate. So they went to the head of Maria Montessori Academy, a public charter school with only three Black students, and demanded to "opt out."
The school "reluctantly" allowed them to do so.
After a local newspaper reported on the decision, community leaders responded with outrage.
