There are images of 21 people in today's DCPS Welcome Back email...

[Anonymous]

i think it is actually 3 photos with each photo used twice, at least in the email I received

That said, including the spectrum of kids found in DC, AA, Asian, White, LatinX would be more inclusive.

My kids will not see this email and my kids are fine at their schools but I think it would be nice to think about such things.

And I am capable of caring about more than one issue at once, so caring about this does not preclude me from being about to care about supplies and playgrounds.

And I do not care a whole lot, but that is because I am suspect of the chancellor's competence overall anyways.

A turntable is for vinyl records. Not quite the same thing.

Read more slowly. Or more quickly.

This is not the same turntable poster. You are a fraud and a troll.

But admittedly, I did find your troll post mildly funny. Mildly though.

Not one person is caucasian; just one appears to be hispanic/indian.

On one level, so what. But on another, it's very much NOT these things we're constantly told are so essential to success:

- diverse
- welcoming
- inclusive

In short, it doesn't give me warm fuzzies that my kids "belong" in DCPS. Are they even wanted? And was this by design, or are the people in DCPS communications simply tone deaf?

I assume that if MCPS sent a similar email showing only caucasians, I'd be reading about it in the WaPo.

Its so funny you say this! I analyzed a DCPS school calendar a decade ago for grad school - same low percentage of white faces. Yeah, diversity cuts both ways...but doesnt in DC? Such dumb marketing.

This. Ferebee messed up here. I'm curious if it was intentional or not. I've seen enough to know he has some competence gaps.

+1 I look at that calendar each year! I think there’s been like one white kid in the past five years. And that was probably a mistake that got someone at DCPS fired. Those calendars are a waste of paper, BTW.
