[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you’re worried about some vague notion of wokeness that hasn’t apparently even affected you or your kids in private school. And yet racism, ableism, and general bullying of minority groups still happens a lot in the public schools in this area. Are you sure you want to dump wokeness? Some kid made fun of my dd’s darker skin color and compared her to a turd. She was too hurt and embarrassed to tell me about the incident for a whole year. Just one reason I will be happy to trade public school for our woke private school next year. And check out this recent gem from TikTok. At least I know that this type of behavior would get a kid instantly expelled from any private school: https://www.tiktok.com/@tizzyent/video/7187837986858421547[/quote]"

No where did I say that the behavior you are describing is a better alterative. I have always known that the conservatives hate people like me. But now we have progressives that are claiming to be our "allies" speaking for us and spewing dangerous BS. Perhaps why I feel so lost here is because I don't agree with either side although I'm not equating the two either. Many progressives have their hearts in the right place but what they are pushing is reductive, harmful and in some ways as the original article I quoted is saying, creating its own exclusive club. Of course many progressives will say that the DEI "industry" is not progressives. But maybe they should ask themselves why corporations are jumping to adopt the terminology that progressives love to use. Again I go back to that quote from that article about why the Chinese love conservatives.[/quote]
