Parents of students at Glen Allen High School in Henrico, Virginia are voicing concerns after a controversial race-relations video was shown to their children.
Entitled “Structural Discrimination: The Unequal Opportunity Race,” the four-minute video uses the story of a track-and-field race as an allegory for the relationship between white and black Americans in the United States, shown as a part of Black History Month.
Two white and two black track runners are in a race, but the black runners fall behind because of physical obstacles placed in their way, which are explicitly labeled as symbols for the problems that black Americans face today.
