[quote=Anonymous]I can confirm that the infamous GDS bias reporting anonymous form is still around. I’m shocked this administration allows it to still exist as a thing. But having read this thread perhaps I should not be.

Sure students are told not to abuse the form, but you are empowering 15-18 year olds with an anonymous tool to report to the most important administrative department any speech that makes you feel “unsafe”

I’m sure that will go well.

That office has done nothing to promote Indian American, Arab American or Asian American events or students. Begrudgingly they added some nice nice words about anti Semitic hate after Oct 7.

Here’s my supposition - GDS should eliminate the DEI office. Or they need to entirely change it. Stop making it about one group and just one group. Constantly finger wagging at the kids about their implicit racism against the black community has done lots of harm and if you ask many kids, it’s actually hardened their views against the mission of the school and what they set out to do. Predictable backlash when you tell a group of HS kids that they are part of structural racism at assemblies every single week for 3 years. It’s why many kids find creative ways to skip these assemblies despite high school monitors patrolling hallways.

All assemblies in HS are run by DEI office. There are no longer any non DEI speakers at assemblies. Been this way for 2-3 years.

So yeah. Back to the thread. The HS administration is broken.

And as much as I think Russell is a spectacular leader in so many ways, like many liberals, he lost the thread.

He is struggling to take it back and his own direct reports are the enemy in many cases. He hired them and created their positions.
