Agreed. During the public meetings at DeKalb, a white parent talked about Evanston's "race and gender-based curriculums" and how DeKalb wouldn't stand for that "divisive teaching." Horton replied that if the community doesn't want those elements in the education, they wouldn't be incorporated. Whaaaa?!?! I thought that was one of his central tenets as an "anti-racist leader." He didn't defend the D65 curriculum in the least.

I recognize the demographics of Dekalb are much different from Evanston (way fewer white students and overall poorer in Dekalb). I'd assume DeKalb wouldn't take on the LGBTQ+ portion of D65's school curriculum (given local politics/feelings among that community in Georgia), but completely abandoning the BLM curriculum so nonchalantly as a response from Horton took me a bit by surprise.
