the admin flat out admits it:
"In an Aug. 26, 2020, email to Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) principals, Associate Superintendent Janet S. Wilson announced that "all schools will be required to implement a student psychoeducational lesson during one of the school's mandatory Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) block [sic] before September 18, 2020. This lesson will provide students crisis facts about the dual pandemic (COVID-19 and systemic racism) that is occurring around the country and here in Montgomery County."
An instructional video for teachers begins with instructions on how to set up Zoom classes to make "students saving and sharing the chat for later" less likely, the instructor directs teachers to use a "scripted response."
"We are currently living through a dual pandemic with COVID-19 and the Systemic and Structural racism occurring worldwide," the instructor coaches teachers to say. "A pandemic is defined by an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the population. As you can see from this slide [featuring a Black Lives Matter protest poster], both are affecting lives of people in our community and around the world.""
