[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're right, some of them still do, which is great, but I was at a school that pulled those writers in favor of books written by people like Robin Lee Kimmerer, a woman who grew up a upper middle class white woman and enrolled in a tribe as an adult who now claims access to indigenous ways of knowing. My kids can read whatever they want by whoever they want but not liking that kind of curriculum change is not the same thing as being "euro-centric." How joining a tribe as an adult isn't colonial is beyond me, but I'm happy to hear theories. 
I want people to argue for their actual ideas rather than assuming that the other side is auto-racist or motivated by racism. It prevents an actual diverse conversation by assuming that because you agree with an insta-meme, you're one of the "good ones" on the "right side of history." Everyone thinks they are on the right side of history -- it's those that "know" they are that have done a lot of damage throughout history. [/quote]

Odd example since this tracks as far more of an exception than the rule with DEI curricula . . . and then using this anecdote as a basis for what?  Getting rid of DEI programming.  Frankly, your example is likely something that often occurred BEFORE DEI was implemented anywhere.  [/quote]
