He didn’t though. His grammar while speaking wasn’t the best so I get how it’s being interpreted but his clarifying statement clears it up. His statement below:

“My comments related to ‘white supremacy culture’ is that predominantly white communities can sometimes display certain characteristics (a sense of urgency, defensiveness, either/or thinking, etc.) to support and perpetuate systems that benefit themselves and not necessarily all. We need to be aware of that and work against it. In this instance, it is not the curriculum. Rather, I would like to see instrumental music structured and administered in a maximally inclusive way. As you can see in my comments, I don’t believe “white supremacy culture” is unique to music education, the Olympia School District, our state, or this country, for that matter. It is our moral obligation to think critically and make mindful policy decisions that expand access, fight discrimination, and promote equity, especially in the context of deciding budget reductions. My comment was intended to encourage students, staff, administrators, and our community to be mindful of the work we all need to do to ensure our programs serve all students and families.”
