[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still can’t get over the hypocrisy of $50,000+ per year schools teaching DEI. Honestly, if you can’t put your money where your mouth is, stay quiet. The worst thing is, these parents and the students may actually walk out of their thinking they are truly inclusive and equitable. It’s the same IMO as those who go to church every Sunday, but break every commandment Monday thru Friday, and  twice on Saturday.

So I’m racist because I send my kids to a private school?  Ummm. Whatever. [/quote]

I mean it’s not exactly racist, but it’s also NOT promoting diversity and inclusion.  You’re essentially paying a lot of money so that your children are only educated around other white children from two parent homes.  [/quote]

Not the PP but there are a lot of assumptions in your post and many in this thread. In my experience, the main reasons to send your child to a private school is because the class sizes are smaller, the facilities are better, the overall education is better and you can afford it.  Is it obnoxiously expensive?  Yes.  Is that "fair"?  No.  But some people have nicer houses, cars, etc than others too.  A private school needs to pay for its facilities, teachers, etc.  For those who are so offended by DEI programs, what do you suggest schools do?   Isn't it better than doing nothing at all?  What would be the better choice?  Are you suggesting private schools shouldn't exist at all?[/quote]
