Hundreds of Denver students stage walk-out to protest Tay Anderson

Corona pandemic, climate change, revitalization of the global economy: the heads of the G20 countries deal with the major construction sites at their video summit. One participant only seems to be interested in this to a limited extent. "Global effort" Corona pandemic dominates G20 summit After less than two hours Trump whistles on the G20 and goes golfing

Hundreds of Denver Public Schools students walked out of their classrooms across the city Monday to protest school board member Tay Anderson, who was censured by his colleagues last week for what they called “behavior unbecoming of a board member.”

Friday’s vote by the DPS board to publicly reprimand Anderson followed the release last week of a third-party investigation into allegations of sexual assault against the 23-year-old.

The 6-month-long investigation did not substantiate any of those claims, but did conclude Anderson had flirted online with a 16-year-old student this summer before knowing her age and made coercive and intimidating social media posts during the investigation.

The students who walked out Monday morning gathered outside the school district’s downtown headquarters, chanting “Hey hey, ho ho, Tay Anderson has got to go,” and “women’s rights are human rights.”

Eleven students from various city high schools also went inside to meet with DPS Superintendent Alex Marrero and school board President Carrie Olson for a listening session, said Will Jones, a district spokesman.

Some students called for Anderson to resign from the board; on Friday, ahead of the censure vote, he forcefully rejected that notion.

“He should just be gone,” one student told Denver7 at the walkout. “‘Cause if you’re working with students, you shouldn’t have that many allegations.”

Anderson, in a statement posted to Twitter on Monday, said he “unequivocally supports the First Amendment and the right to protest,” while reiterating that the investigation released last week did not substantiate any claims of sexual assault.

He is set to speak at 6 p.m. Monday from Brother Jeff’s Cultural Center in Five Points about “unifying a divided district” and to “begin a conversation in order to move forward with the difficult work of rebuilding trust with students,” the statement said. He also said on Twitter that he will address his future on the board.

Students at East High School walk out of school to protest DPS school board member Tay Anderson on Sept. 20, 2021, in Denver.

The 96-page report also found he made unwelcome sexual comments, advances and contact toward female students affiliated with a student-led gun control group that he co-founded three years ago. Anderson largely admitted to those allegations and apologized, according to the report.

But the investigation did not substantiate the most serious claims against Anderson, including allegations made by an anonymous woman through Black Lives Matter 5280 in March that Anderson sexually assaulted her.

Investigators also did not corroborate allegations made by a DPS parent before a state legislative committee that a predator in the school district had committed rape, sexual assault or sexual misconduct against 62 students. The DPS board later said the woman had been referring to Anderson.

Anderson defiantly defended himself Friday before and during the special school board meeting, calling the censure vote “high-tech lynching.” A host of Black leaders stood beside him to deride white supremacy, referring to the vote and investigation as a “witch hunt.”
