At several Amagansett School Board meetings since the beginning of 2025, board members, teachers and staff selectively applaud one parent’s comments while ignoring or even discouraging another. This demonstrates a conscious preference or prejudice toward one parent over the other.

This preferential treatment is a clear example of explicit bias, where individuals are aware of and actively demonstrate their biased attitudes.

The April 8 meeting was highlighted by Vice President Addie Slater-Davison stating that this is how the “majority” feel. So much for the requirements of an unbiased group of publicly elected officials.

Still here.
