[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Times are changing, and racism isn't institutionalized anymore. There is still racism on an individual level, but not institutional. This event is perpetuating institutional racism. I get that many PP don't see it that way, and instead see it as righting a wrong, or rebalancing the scales or something. But bottomline is it perpetuates institutional racism.[/quote] Please explain. My understanding is that this was meant to create a safe space for black students and families to connect and build community. Institutional racism, to me, would be more focused on things like admittance policy or the institutional levers that create a high school that is not representative of the public school student body in DC. The impacts institutional racism appear alive and well even if the policies have changed. [/quote]
