Speakers urge Pitt County board to protect DEI policies while others call for votes on anti‑DEI language
Summary
Multiple speakers during public expression urged the board either to remove anti‑DEI language from board materials and vote publicly, or to retain diversity, equity and inclusion protections for students, including LGBT protections and pregnant students.
During the meeting’s public‑expression period, several members of the public urged the Pitt County Schools Board to take a public position on proposed changes to district diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
Mike Tan, co‑chair of 5051 Greenville, told the board his group wants the board to remove anti‑DEI language from the consent agenda and vote on it publicly so voters know who supports students. He said organizers had seen “workarounds” to state anti‑DEI rules and urged the board to be explicit about where it stands.
