[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I doubt he’s the only one who feels alienated. I get that this might be white fragility, but after a year like this one, the righteousness around perfect wholeness is tiresome. We don’t live in ward 3 and I remain critical of that group, at least in the sense of not giving them a ton of credit for their nobility in sticking with dcps. But, I also am weary of knowing that basically no matter what we do we’ll never meet the standards of critics, so why bother?

You can take issue with that but collectively all the folks work out by being called racist at every turn probably feel like me, and Jeff, and now feel fine about doing absolutely nothing going forward to solve this particular issue. You perfectionists can do that, I will just keep doing what seems best for my kids. [/quote]

Just to be clear, I don't feel alienated. My concern about alienation was in regard to other posters. I am deeply committed to racial justice and it will take more than some name-calling to change my mind. They might not want me as an ally, but they are stuck with me.
