162 principals and assistant principals in Minnesota cosigned a pledge to bring more racial equity to their state's educational system
Named for a quote from late Congressman John Lewis, a champion of civil rights, the 'Good Trouble Principals' want to 'de-center whiteness' in schools
'The fight for educational equality rages on and so does our counter,' reads the pledge
'We will not be moved. We write to say it is our role as school principals to be the faces and names of this fight,' it adds
The coalition aims to move away from standardized tests, in which minority students statistically perform worse than white students
It also accused PTAs and teacher's unions of upholding white supremacy in the educational system
