Diversity The Priority For Boston Mayor Kim Janey As Two Latina School Committee Members Resign Over Racist Anti-White Remarks

Two members of the Boston School Committee made anti-white remarks, got caught, and resigned — and the city's mayor wants to ensure that people of their race still have representation on the board.
Alexandra Oliver-Davila and Lorna Rivera, both Latinas, recently resigned as members of the school committee in the wake of the publishing of text messages the two sent during a committee hearing October 20, 2020. Also during that meeting, the chairman of the school committee at the time, Michael Loconto, was heard mocking the names of Asian attendees. Loconto resigned as a result of that two days later.
