Bailey for Illinois has issued the following press release:

Louisville, IL – State Senator and candidate for Governor, Darren Bailey, is calling on Lyons Township High School to fire “director of diversity and inclusion” Jennifer Rowe for her racist disciplinary policies.

Rowe has implemented a new system of school discipline called “Restorative Justice.” Under the new policies, more leniency would be provided to non-white students including more verbal warnings, fewer suspensions and even keeping more serious offenders on campus.

“There is no good outcome here by holding students to different standards based on race,” Bailey said. “All students regardless of race should be held to the same standard of conduct. These racist policies are only going to serve to create more problems and potentially put kids in serious danger. The message being sent here is that as long as you meet the right racial profile you don’t have to follow the rules. Any student who commits violence against other students should be punished for those actions. Kids of all races deserve to be safe at school. Jennifer Rowe is a sick psychopath who is putting kids in danger, and she has no business being anywhere near children. She should be terminated immediately.”

Bailey said under his administration any school district adopting policies like this will be ineligible for state funding for their schools.

“I have a zero tolerance for racist indoctrination at schools,” Bailey said. “Any school adopting racist policies like so-called ‘Restorative Justice’ will be stripped of all state funding. I will use the line-item veto to zero out their state funding. Taxpayer money should not be used to fund racist indoctrination.”
