[quote=Anonymous]The invite is for people raising Black kids. You can be any color caregiver and attend. The invite centers children and helps create a positive cohort for the child. ultimately all of this is based on research in order to create better learning outcomes and narrow the educational achievement gap in elementary school. Is it so far fetched to understand that a good school for your kid might not be as good for a POC because of prejudice and biases coming from fellow students and their families as well as from staff? I can understand that black and POC families need some reprieve and support here. People who labeled the invite as hostile, aggressive, or amped up, wouldn’t use those same words for another group. Whoever said that these groups are only needed if the numbers are very small just sounds afraid. What if Black kids ‘catch up’ and (gasp) surpass your kid’s achievement because they had a play date without you? [/quote]
