We had one child there whose best friend was Black. We are white. They were inseparable from 6th grade on and continue to be close in college. Sadly this is a very rare occurrence.

Our other child's friend group is almostly completely white and economically privileged. There are some asian and half asian kids in that mix but no black kids at all.

We believe GDS's DEI agenda only serves to silo the kids. My kid in middle school had lots of friends from different racial groups but as the school pushed identity politics and affinity groups everyone started self-separating in high school. I know for kids of color this can be a necessary and validating thing. I also know that kids are tribal by nature. It is the school's job to address this and GDS virtue signals but ignores the elephant in the room which is that the majority of friend groups are divided by race.
I view this as a failure of school leadership and an abandonment of the school's mission.

So sad now your white child won’t be able to tell people they are not racist because they have 1 black friend. DEI is terrible.

But wasn't DEI about decreasing segregation and bringing peace to racial relationships? This is a sincere question as I don't know what the target outcome is.

Anyway, I actually don't have personal experience as my kids are not yet in school. But it's an issue I think of often.

The problem is racism and white supremacy. We need a more direct approach. DIE is just too watered down.

And how do you deal with racism and white supremacy? By bringing people together (both same-race and cross-race groups) and help them talk to each other, understand each other, and let them see they can easily be in same space with no issue. If in practice you only create same-race groups at school, that will create an issue in the long run, I think. You cannot deal with racism while causing more segregation.

What is white supremacy? Don’t have the skinheads affinity group? What are you on about with the white supremacy? Lunatics one and all

You need to see a shrink. No one here asked for skinheads or even whites affinity group.

I’m confused. You said the problem at hand was racism and white supremacy. I was looking to find out what white supremacy group is present in your school, because you must have some… proof for that outlandish claim?

I am not the one you should be replying to. I am in fact responding to the person who is making those claims.

Anyone who isn’t full pay is a freeloader. Diversity is only wanted among full pay students.

Is this how you view it or how you assume schools view it?

I suggest you talk to schools admissions and financial aid committees to learn about their process.

Use your brain and see past the school marketing and public statements.

Let me guess: racists and white supremacists no matter what color? What proof do you have? I’m on PTA so would like to know if I’m involved in a secret hate group sleeper cell.

Too much free time on your hands. Lots of non-billable hours. A busybody.
