Why are you assuming it's just one person?

The tone seems similar. Of course it could be a few people, but it seems odd that the same things keep getting brought up across multiple threads. Really angry posts with really serious accusations (like "we heard sta hates [insert racial group].")

Is it weird or the truth? The Close has serious issues. How many teachers of color do they have teaching at all levels? Also, having an exodus of black students do not help.

How many black male teachers do they have? I’m not counting admins or coaches. FWIW, I’m a new poster😉

A lot of black males of the caliber to teach at St. A go into different fields or choose to work with far more socio economically and otherwise diverse populations. What do you suggest for this?
I think these schools could bring in TAs during or straight from graduate programs and mentor/promote FAR more.

Why TAs? Why lower the standard? If STA supports diversity, they will create an inclusive work environment. Since it’s not on the faculty side, you have low/no faculty. To take it further, diversity is a “new” initiative for STA. What year are in again?

You don’t want to do this on a public forum. 🙄

One last point, Sidwell has figured it out. High quality faculty choose places they feel welcomed.

STA has a community outreach program to attract underrepresented people of color. It is fabulous.

Schools like SFS and Maret, on the other hand, bring in people of color who are either simply recruited ringer athletes and/or tokens.

And what data do you have to support this? Let me guess, someone posted about it on DCUM. I really think you have your schools mixed up. STA has some of lowest application % for people of color (minus Asians). There is a reason there is a community outreach however, your outreach needs to extend beyond your small bubble which won't happen.

DP you present as just another tiresome, ignorant moron who likes to rant about subjects of which they have no knowledge. Or perhaps you’d like to share your data and sources?

I'm assuming from the "it's fabulous" comment that you are a STA parent or alum.

You are not doing the school any favors by revealing that you don't think Black kids actually belong at Big 3 schools, and that they must all be there due to some sort of super special "community" outreach or because they are good at sportball.

Its sad when they have to revert to name calling, doesn't make your flawed point any clearer. Good luck with the reach out.
