Auon’tai Anderson protests Englewood school board’s public comment changes in duct tape demonstration

Englewood Herald: In protest to recent changes the Englewood Board of Education made to its public comment policy, Auon’tai Anderson wore duct tape on his mouth and silently listened during the board’s June 4 meeting. 

“It’s very evident the board of education changed the public comment policy in retaliation to community members from Black organizations that spoke out against the treatment of Black students, educators and school board members included,” Anderson, former Denver Board of Education, told the Englewood Herald after the meeting. 

In recent months, the district has pushed back against Anderson’s claims that it is falling short in equity and inclusion efforts.
