As the parent of an African American daughter, no way. Horrible - too many stories.

Hate to tell you this, but there is one of those for everyschool, pubic and private.

The thing to look at is how the school ahs responded to the concerns of students and alumnae.

I get all my news about a school from anonymous instagram posts too!

Just looking at the first post that comes up, it states the new lower school head is black. That must've been written a few years ago as the current LS head has been there a while, and she's white (and lesbian).

This seems to have one of the higher number of posts when comparing to other schools. Can't get a read on what the current vibe is like though.

LOL if you think this isn't true at every private to some degree. Also a lot of these are a stretch. Come on.

Oh okay. Where will you send your kids to completely shelter them from any micro-aggression?

Now do Black at Ballou.

These posts from 2020 seemed to be a needed wakeup call for the school. You can view all of the work the school has done (and plans to do) since then on their website: https://www.holton-arms.edu/about/diversity

It's definitely not perfect (no school is), but at least they are working on it in a meaningful way.

Oh goody. Now dcum topics are written like buzz feed clickbait. Have the bots arrived, or are humans becoming even more insufferable?

what is funny is a lot of those are complaining about affirmative action in college admissions, now that doesn't exist I think we can delete a lot of these insta complaints.
