Two Boston School Committee members, including the chairwoman, have resigned after text messages disparaging parents of students as “delusional” and “racist” were made public.
The texts were sent last October during a public debate on whether the city’s three prestigious public schools will continue to use an entrance exam to select students or decide eligibility based on students’ grades and zip codes. Dozens of parents, mostly white and Asian, spoke against the proposal, saying it would undermine those schools’ reputation of academic excellence.
