[quote=Anonymous]I doubt you are a POC, not that it matters.    Are you new around here?  The US invented and reinforced racial categories since the inception of the country and still does.  It also operates a de facto caste system.  So, the color blind world you are imagining just never existed here.   That's not to say each person will experience it,  but to pretend it doesn't exist seems a bit naive.

You clearly know very little about DEI programming incorporated into the mission of most independent schools, including the active recruitment of a diverse student body (racially, religiously, gender, sexuality, economic class, and immigrant status, if possible).    The inclusion of ideas that may discuss any of these identities in history and LA courses. My children attend 2 different independent schools (one TT, one 2T) and both schools are VERY thoughtful in how they design their history and LA programs. They also have guest speakers/performers who may touch upon a cultural theme. All if this programming feels like cultural expansion, not dogma or ideology.    My children's previous experience at their mostly white public school included none of this. I found it to be rather unsophisticated.[/quote]
