[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't even the most offensive email that SWS leadership has sent recently about which students and families are allowed to go to which events.[/quote]

If you're so offended, take your kid out of the school.

You're mad because they had a social event for Black families and that all of this came out of direct feedback from black families at the school? I mean SWS can't win, first they are attacked on DCUM for being too white, then when they address specific and direct concerns that have been addressed, they're too woke? [/quote]

A school can definitely be both too white (especially with respect to what it means for self-selection in the context of city demographics) and too woke. I would not want to be a black parent at a school where the message going around is that at a social event for only black parents the black parents decided there should be a group for only white parents aimed solely at discussing how the perpetuate whiteness and racism. I mean, my god.[/quote]

No, there was not a black only social event that launched the affinity groups.

The school has a parent committee focused on diversity and inclusion. That committee encompasses whoever wants to join. It was the committee that launched the affinity group ideas and otherwise helps to address diversity at the school, and yes some of that is based on prior feedback from Black families at the school. The affinity groups are supposed to come together for shared conversation at the end of the year.

Separately, someone posted that they were offended about being excluded from some other separate event, which I can only guess is that [b]the school had a social event for families/children who identify as black[/b] at the school because I can't find anything else remotely offensive.

It was very clear that only these students and families were invited. That's not right and it's not legal.[/quote]
