It's a good question. Let's try it:

[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 White and/or of Caucasian descent to the upcoming White Family Social.

Date: Sunday, October 1
Time: 11AM-1PM
Location: Sherwood Playground (behind SWS)

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

If this had happened, the principal and much of the administration of the school would have been removed, the mayor and the council would have rushed to condemn it, and it would have made the national news.[/quote]

You can also try it with "straight" to argue against families of LGBTQ kids having a gathering. Get back to us when white kids are marginalized.

Everyone ignoring that this cake about BECAUSE of how Black families felt at the school. In prior years there were multiple page threads about how SWS was too white and now they are too Black. Make up your mind already.[/quote]
