[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, this is just classic SWS.  In theory their Black affinity group (or whatever they are calling it) is probably meant to be analogous to the GDS group or the BSA-like group at Deal.  Sure, we can argue that none of these race-based groups should exist at schools at all, but fact of the matter is that they do, and have for many many years.  It is just how we do things in the US, or at least certain parts of the US.

But SWS uses this weird amped up language that makes people in their community who aren't completely on board with their approach to this issue feel like they're being shamed.   FWIW, they do this with everything.  Heaven forbid you question whether "joy" should come at the expense of academics, or whether it is a good thing for their teachers to be recommending ADHD meds so routinely.  Question these things and you're a monster and not part of their "in" crowd.  This is just par for the course with SWS.  If you're a parent there, just get used to it.  It is how they roll.
