Subject: Upcoming Protest
On Tuesday 2/20/2024 a protest will be held at Trinity Lutheran School in St Joseph Michigan. This will be led by the family, friends, supporters, and community activists such as Ed Pinkney. Please read more information below as to why the family is protesting against racism and bullying at this school. The staff and principal are aware and nothing has been done and the victims parents have yet to receive an update. We would like news agencies to come and provide coverage of the protest.
A 12-year-old family member of mine attends this school and was told “you blend in with this brown marker,” even though she’s a similar complexion as her bullies. Then she was called an N word and the teacher and staff did nothing so far. The bully is the child of one of the teachers, so I’m sure that’s why it’s being swept under the rug. There was another incident in which 4 boys surrounded her and made whipping sounds and said “get back to work” making fun of Black History Month. There was another incident in which Zachariah threw her books on the floor in front of Mrs Alison Jakubs. Mrs Jakubs then had her write a sentence during help with English that said, “Zachariah threw Aubree’s books on the floor.” My cousin Aubree Windmon was mortified. Amy Roth is aware and does nothing. The nepotism, racism, and covering up for each others children must stop. This victims parents pay to attend this school. No scholarship, no handouts, and this is what your hard earned money gets you in 2024. We want accountability. Her father Aaron Windmon can be reached at 423-208-8733
