Let Edmund Lee Stay at Gateway Elementary School & Stop Discriminating Against Blacks!

The Issue

"This Little Boy Isn't Allowed to Remain Enrolled at His School — Simply Because He Is Black"

Discrimination against African Americans has to stop! The state sends funds to schools so children can learn and have a future.

Gateway Science Academy Charter Elementary School in St. Louis, Missouri, is not allowing 3.8 GPA student, Edmund Lee, to stay at this school because he's transferring to another town and even in this day, their bylaws state the following:

The transfer law that is blocking Edmund is from decades-old legislation that was left over from when Missouri first worked to desegregate their school system.

Please STOP SEGREGATION in Missouri completely and make it against the law in private or public schools and anywhere in Missouri so Edmund and all minorities have an equal and fair education like all the rest of the children in the USA! 

Teach the children we are NOT part of the past and will change the future and bring equality everywhere to ALL races!
