Why do parents have such an issue with DEIB

Anonymous


WIS does not have DEI. It has IDI: internationalism, diversity and inclusion.

Very similar.

Not at all.

In what says is it different? WIS has a 'white accountability' affinity group.

Agreed, and WIS very much de-emphasizes the I part of their IDI

This is utter BS
fear mongering from the rw crowd

So no evidence of this happening in a DC area private school (the topic of this thread)?


it's all over them, has been for years

https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-new-plan

what rock you been under


1) that’s a whiney op-ed

2) it doesn’t give any examples of “getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture”


That curriculum was posted pages ago. Do try to keep up.


So like I said, zero evidence that “getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture” is happening in private schools here.


I'm sure plenty of schools around here use materials from Tema Okun, the popularizer of all that stuff

but I guess what you need to see is a poster of it in the principal's office with the principal holding up their driver's license, that's fine

you should Google "Motte-and-Bailey" if you want to better understand your own argument


Those of us with real life kids in real life schools know you’re full of crap. Go push your propaganda somewhere else.


can you tell us which schools DON'T have it? we're actually looking; it would be helpful


BS if you are actually looking you have your list of schools and can go down the list and ask the question to the schools yourself. If you can pay the tuition these schools are demanding you have the time/staff and know how.

what you dear troll are doing is trying to get a public list to slander or praise against


BTW no one is paying $60k a year for their kids not to learn. But try again. How is Siberia this time of year?


Dude, they brag about it on their websites. And I mean the DC area privates - go down the list. Maybe not The Heights, but....

Of course you will immediately retort "yes but I bet they don't use that one White Supremacy poster that was in the Smithsonian Museum of African American History" to which I would retort "those ideas are a very widespread pollutant in the DEI field, as you would know if you read anything whatsoever about what its proponents actually say - so it's sort of beside the point whether they have a lesson plan posted on their site that includes those exact phrases." Just like if they had stacks of Dianetics books in the library (not sure if you're old enough to remember that), it wouldn't really matter if they were directly teaching the kids about thetans. The point is that they're bought into a body of thinking that, when you scratch with just a fingernail, gets very crazy very fast.

As to the $60k not to learn, they pay that for the social credentialing and for not having metal detectors. Learning, for many, is extra.

Sorry if I overloaded your synapses, but I figured it was at least worth a try.

I don't like your facts so I'm changing the scope of the thread to some very small corner because I can't refute the claims!


See question and see where you are. This is a DC message board and a question was asked about private schools because it's a DC message board it is about DC private schools.

You are deflecting as you were trained to sew contention and make people second guess.

BTW people have written books about folks like you who do this and make people question things they know to be true.


sew versus sow is the new cache versus cache

I have not seen a single assignment many of you claim has been included in curriculums. I would blow it off to trolls, but I've heard parents slip and admit that it will factor in their following school selection. They are so threatened by something they know nothing about.

I don't understand why.



They are racist.

Easy. Zero schools in the area teach that “getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture”.


https://www.gds.org/about/diversity-equity-and-inclusion/resources-for-parents

including: "White Supremacy Culture," by Kenneth Jones and Tema Okun, ChangeWork

try harder

is this the part where "it's not happening but it's great that it is?"


It's on a long list of resources for discussion. And doesn't even say "getting correct answers is indicative of white supremacist culture"

Zero schools in the area teach that.

silly assertion by you - you can't prove a negative

DEIB is still 1) prove-ably loopy in its content, and 2) publicly endorsed by (nearly) all the schools around here

Sorry to burst your bubble but the locals are outnumbered here. You're fighting an uphill battle on many levels. You know that which is why you feel the need to insult. And who trained me in sewing? What are you talking about?

My only assertion was that the PP who claimed that schools around here teach “getting correct answers is indicative of white supremacist culture" was full of crap.

“The locals are outnumbered”

I doubt that, but the outsider agitators are as loud as they are ignorant.

You doubt that, but you can't really say for sure, can you? Your ignorance is on full display with your poor grasp of grammar and spelling but don't let that stop you as you name call and flail uselessly.
