[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Skipped most of this thread, but I have to say that this is so 10 years ago. White affinity groups/ally groups have been around for ages. Families had the same knee-jerk reaction to it then, and then 2020 came and guess what: many many white people were responsible for reading "Unlearning Racism" and "Whiteness 101," etc. And guess what: white people have become more informed on what it's like to walk this earth in skin of color. White people thinking they don't need to unpack their biases or learn how to handle tricky situations is not going to get us anywhere. I am white and learn all the time at work about how I could be handling this better, seeing things from different points of view, supporting people more. Just because you haven't heard of this doesn't mean it's not a thing--a thing that helps. [/quote]

Two things can be true. It can be true that it’s a good thing to think about your own biases and learn to handle tricky situations. And it can be true that it’s completely inappropriate (and probably illegal) for the principal of a public school to use tax money to segregate parents into groups by skin color and tell one group that they’re going to learn humility and how to stop “perpetuating” their own skin color.
