[Anonymous]

I am a gds parent. Don’t feel bad for us. We’re thrilled.

Using the term "woke" in 2025 is telling on yourself.

+1 I’m so freaking sick of the woke nonsense! It was not like this in the 90s.

Amen. Disgusting behavior. Do better GDS.

Come on. Get over yourself. A parent posted an email sent to a couple of thousand people in the GDS community. It had no personal information.

The proselytizing on this thread is something else. “Waaah” don’t release the email.

There was a question here as to what the circumstances of the departure were and a parent posted the email to clarify.

Like so many things in society now, the distraction and focus on the derivative process crime ignores and obfuscates the real issue being discussed here: The division head left suddenly, announced it 2 weeks after the end of the school year and isn’t even staying for a transition year. That’s it.

And perhaps the second issue being discussed of what qualifications this job should have.

Not the email that 5000 people in the DMV had even before it was posted here.

Zero ideological diversity at gds is allowed. Ask any boy in the high school. Half to two thirds of them are actual Trump supporters (yup true). And those boys fear saying anything defending a different point of view in a classroom discussion on policy.

Ask who programs the all high school assemblies - for past 4 years the DEI office programs all assemblies.

Great teachers. Crap administration. I dealt with Yom as a parent. She sucked. Double talk. Never clear. Hid behind her deputy and tried to make herself hard to reach. That’s not a race thing. She just sucked at the public facing part of an admittedly hard job.

Don’t you all have a private group for venting? Why are you doing it here? I don’t have a kid at gds but this string is unappealing. Why would anyone want to join a community like this?

Where does your kid go to school? I know that you won't answer but I'm asking because I'm 100% confident that there are similar venting "strings" on dcum about your school from time to time. Perhaps you can also do a search for Sidwell, Maret, STA, Prep, NCS, and you'll find the same kind of rambling depending on the subject matter. But you already know that.

Gds is proudly woke and has been woke from the very start. Clueless PP!

Not like this. Come on. Been in this community 15 years now. It was not like this before the last 5 years. You are fooling yourself if you don’t see that or you actually weren’t here when the high school was better run under Kevin.

Now it’s only in the worst sense. GDS is now only one among many perpetuating the status quo.
