Anti-diversity trends.

I'm afraid, given the current social climate, that I'm going to send my daughter to a school that is trying to become whiter.

I've noticed that many families have become openly against diversity efforts. We are POC, and I've had parents casually express how DEI initiatives hurt the quality of the surrounding private schools. Although I'm disappointed in the lack of thoughtfulness, I'm not surprised.

I already pulled applications from a couple of schools that have suddenly committed to a less diverse path since I started my application process. I'm now nervous I will be stuck at a school where my child's presence diminishes its quality.

I would appreciate insights on the current climate of your current institution. I will not take it personally. I don't have the energy to be a part of a diversity struggle. I'm sure other POC parents will also agree.

I don’t think this means they want to become whiter. It just means they don’t want race to be a factor in admissions? Why would you want that?

NCS has affinity groups and a very active black parents association and black student union. They host events and gatherings and all in the community are welcome. PA pres and several of exec committee members are also black and doing a great job.

SSSAS has an explicitly stated commitment to diversity and backs it up, it’s not just words on paper.

Maybe you can go to PG privates. No private has true diversity. Few are going whiter.

You mean groups that self-segregate. Good plan...instead of bringing people together you do separate but equal.
