[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people, ( even radical feminist liberals like me) , are tired of being told they are racists and are tired of being forced fed pronouncements about diversity.[/quote]

Nobody is calling anybody racist. However, everyone that is racist is definitely anti-DEBI for a lot is the same reasons people are throwing out here. [/quote]

The problem we have is overcorrection. I don’t think any liberal would argue that we shouldn’t have DEIA/B etc efforts. We should definitely think about race and class and social structures at an organizational level. However, not everything we do can be about race / gender etc all the time. It’s stifling discussions and conversations. It’s exhausting. When you lose the liberals on this stuff, what we have to fear most is the overcorrection on the other side of this.

What conversations have you recently had that were stifled? [/quote]

How well do you think these schools or any of the pro-DEI posters on this thread would embrace a “working class” affinity group in the schools? Particularly one in which teachers shared their experiences of their salaries and what it’s actually like to teach the children of the upper class?

We all know the answer. [/quote]

I keep asking for proof, but the examples just keep getting more ridiculous. [/quote]

When are you going to commit to a $30k per child per year increase in tuition to subsidize higher teacher salaries? Show us the proof of that, please.

That is something that would have a lot more actual impact on reducing inequity than all your inane blabbering. You can even direct it at teachers that are POC if you would like; I am sure the school would support that. I look forward to seeing the screenshots of your receipt and committed donations. [/quote]

Everything terrible can't be tied to DEIB. [/quote]
