Black community want to save Just Elementary School
the school's name honors the late biologist Ernest Everett Just.

Many concerned citizens attend the latest school board meeting in an attempt to save Just Elementary School in Tampa, Hillsborough County, FL. There is a proposal to close the school and then re-open it after a year or two was rejected by members of the community.

The fight for Just is seen as part of a larger, right-wing war on public education. The right-wing has been attacking school boards demanding book bans and limits on sex education.
