[quote=Anonymous]So … I get it. Black families have concerns that other races do not face. But the constant drumbeat of only focusing on one race at SWS is so off putting. The latest email from the school:

[quote]Dear SWS families,
As a part of the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Racism (IDEA) Committee's ongoing commitment to fostering a strong sense of community and inclusivity within our school, we are excited to invite all families of children who identify as Black and/or of African descent to the upcoming Black Family Social.

This special event is designed to celebrate and embrace the rich tapestry of our school community, [b]specifically focusing on families with children who identify as Black and/or of African descent. [/b]It's an opportunity to come together and to strengthen connections and support among those of us raising Black children.[/quote]

The bold appears in the email, in case you thought you might be invited as a white, Asian or Hispanic person. How is this “fostering inclusivity”? [/quote]
