[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if PP will be back with more details, but I can absolutely imagine an outside group coming in and offering enrichment specifically targeted at one group.

For example, a Black fraternity providing mentorship opportunities for Black boys.

I honestly don't see an issue with that. Even if the opportunity seems interesting, it's okay for that opportunity to not be for my child. [/quote]

And when an Asian owned group comes in to provide mentor ship or enrichment for only Asian kids only using school staff, this should be okay too. [/quote]

You're referring to Asian-American groups and Asian-American kids, right?

Or, for example, this one time a group from the South Korean embassy came to my kid's school for a paper-folding assembly, so that was an Asian group - is that what you're referring to? But the assembly was for all of the kids in the grade.[/quote]

It could be a group owned/run by an Asian American or an Asian immigrant that’s not yet a citizen. Is that more clear?

How great that the group did not restrict kids of different races to join in their activity. That is how it ought to be.

But as the above quoted poster pointed out, they would be cool with a group run by Black people coming in and only allowing black kids. There should be no different judgement then if a group run by Asians or Asian Americans only allowed kids of Asian descent to participate in their program.
