Republican lawmakers are blasting Ames school officials for material used in a Black Lives Matter Week of Action in the district.

G-O-P lawmakers called four officials from the Ames district to the statehouse for a  House Oversight Committee hearing. Anthony Jones, the district’s equity director, says the goal was to affirm black and L-G-B-T-Q students and improve their mental health and academic outcomes.

The statehouse hearing lasted nearly two hours. Three Republicans mentioned police officers in Ames saying their children are being bullied at school and one had their car vandalized. An Ames School Board member asked G-O-P lawmakers to forward these and other complaints they’re receiving, with names redacted.
