The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) regrets the recent hurtful activity of a small number of students at Parkway West Middle School who disregarded the impact of words and actions on others and did not treat their fellow students with dignity and respect.
We appreciate the immediate and appropriate response by the administration of the school and of the Parkway School District. These school officials should be allowed to do their jobs, and should be supported in these efforts.
This is a time to once again focus on the necessity of promoting respect for diversity and pluralism as a basic value for our entire community. By celebrating our region’s rich diversity, we enable children and adults alike to feel safe and secure in who they are.
We look forward to working with Parkway West Middle School and the Parkway School District in enhancing communication and developing areas of cooperation and collaboration.
