After outside money got extremist "anti-woke" conservatives elected to Francis Howell School Board they voted 5-2 to stop offering Black history & Literature at 3 HSs. Devastated parents who valued the elective (optional) courses voiced their objections.

Missouri parents are frustrated the board is banning courses rather than focusing on the high teacher turn-over problem.

Francis Howell is a large district with about 16,600 students, 7.7% Black.
