[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the family is interracial, does the white parent also attend? [/quote]

I sincerely hope this is a genuine inquiry, and you're not the same bizarrely entitled lunatic (white mother with black husband) who spent weeks on this board stirring up nonsense late last year.  :roll:   Presuming it is the former versus the latter, the purpose of the event makes all the difference in answering this question. The main occasion when I consider it best for the non-POC parent not to attend would be when the event targets PARENTS of color. There are instances when parents of color with children of color, convene to discuss issues, for example. That is when the white parent should not be included, since that event is not intended for them. Obviously, sane adults living in 2023 are aware that challenges commonly occur specific to parents/children of color in independent schools, and discussions seeking understanding and solutions are not suitable for non-POC inclusion.

Then don’t blur the line between student events and parent events. Basic communication skills go a long way. [/quote]
