3d ago00:01:27Tap to summarizeA proposed all-girls school in North Omaha, Identity Preparatory Academy, faces a major roadblock as the Nebraska Board of Education delays its approval—after one member labeled its curriculum “abolitionist” and demanded more review.

Deborah Neary accused the board of potentially illegal, disrespectful, and even racist behavior by applying different standards. With just eight days before its opening, the academy is under intense pressure as the board pushes the vote to August 11th—leaving the future of this vital educational initiative hanging in the balance.
