Williams acknowledged the race of other black school board members but purposefully left out Brentsville representative Erica Tredinnick, a black Republican. Her efforts had the unintended consequence of displaying why identity politics is so divisive. Prince William GOP posted on X after the meeting, âGuess [Tredinnick] isnât âBlack enoughâ in [Williamsâ] mind. This is the leftâs identity politics at work: itâs not about representation, itâs about control.â
Williams touted the divisionâs Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) efforts over the years, and vowed to push a DEI agenda within the school system. Her words come as the U.S. Department of Education has ordered an end to DEI practices, stating, âpervasive and repugnant race-based preferences and other forms of racial discrimination have emanated throughout every facet of academiaâ on February 1, 2025.
