I sincerely hope this is a genuine inquiry, and you're not the same bizarrely entitled lunatic (white mother with black husband) who spent weeks on this board stirring up nonsense late last year. Presuming it is the former versus the latter, the purpose of the event makes all the difference in answering this question. The main occasion when I consider it best for the non-POC parent not to attend would be when the event targets PARENTS of color. There are instances when parents of color with children of color, convene to discuss issues, for example. That is when the white parent should not be included, since that event is not intended for them. Obviously, sane adults living in 2023 are aware that challenges commonly occur specific to parents/children of color in independent schools, and discussions seeking understanding and solutions are not suitable for non-POC inclusion.

Then don’t blur the line between student events and parent events. Basic communication skills go a long way.

So it IS you?! Are you secretly posting, or does your spouse know about this unhealthy obsession that even holiday joy hasn't cured you of? You're back kicking off the new year with this same ridiculousness. That's actually very sad.
Therapy works; seek it.

NP. Wow angry much? I don’t know you or that poster hit you are the one that sound and egg and needs therapy.

If I recall the poster last year was right to be upset. She was disinvited to a family event. If I had biracial kids o would be attending all family and parent events.

If I recall the event was for parents of color (poster was not) not for parents of students of color (which poster is). These are two very different things still not sure why poster don’t understand the difference.

Also: not a troll and definitely not the person who started an angry thread on this topic!

Please come back and let us know how the event goes. It’s a shame that the event organizers aren’t clear from the beginning about who is or isn’t invited.
