At DC’s school, when a black child breaks a rule and blames it on a white child, the white child is punished.

My bystander student saw this recently. The teachers didn’t bother to try to figure out what actually happened. They just took the black student’s word against several of the white students who were sitting nearby and saw/heard what happened.


What school is this? Sound like they treat Black kids the way white kids are normally treated and treat the white kids the way Blacks have historically been treated.



An eye for an eye, right? Never mind that the children had absolutely nothing to do with any historical inequities. Is this Original Sin?


It’s not even true. And it’s hardly an eye for an eye anyway because there were no ropes involved as far as we know.


Sorry, what isn’t even true?

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?


Because you want your insitution to reflect broader society, to have diversity of opinions and experiences in the classroom and hallways? I don't know, why do you think it is better for schools to be whiter?


Nobody said it’s better for the school to be whiter. Race should not be a factor in admissions. Why do you assume all white students have the same experiences and opinions in the first place, though?

That one anecdote related by a child is sufficient to establish the existence of a practice where the word of a black kid always trumps that of a white kids is patently ridiculous. Maybe they had a good reason to believe the one black kid over the several white witnesses. Perhaps those kids are known troublemakers that are not to be trusted. Maybe those kids were part of the crew terrorizing the black kid. I didn’t know that schools were to establish trust by majority rule.

Of course, there was a time when the word of a single white person could cause a black man to swing within the hour and have the spectacle gleefully memorialized in postcard form. And that’s not based on some singular anecdote of dubious credibility. That’s history.
you write like you just discovered racism, and you really want to share your new knowledge with the rest of the world.


I have no idea what that means and neither do you probably. But you just had to have something to say without really saying much at all.


It means you are simple.


Yep just another dumb darkie who deigns to speak his mind.

It’s pretty clear people are just making up stories about “mistreatment” for shock value at this point.

But my story is true. I won’t reveal the school. A black child stole my child’s lunch. The HOS witnessed this and told my child that it was reparations for the oppression of black people. The HOS was holding a kendi book while wearing a BLM shirt.

Not black but yes, white children should be aware of the miseries their forefathers have perpetrated. And maybe get a taste.

And don’t start with “my Jewish family immigrated in 1900” because if you are white-passing you ARE an oppressor


I hope you’re just trolling.
