[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is technically an affinity group for everyone, white, black, poc, including native Americans, refugees, etc. to talk about their own issues. the messaging was always, ‘to begin with, we will offer these three groups’. There was messaging last year about room for others to be created. There are affinity groups everywhere, to make places more welcome, yoga studios, rock climbing gyms, and can be for any type of group, including for older people, overweight people, lgbtq+, wherever people need solidarity to enter a space currently or previously dominated by people unlike them. There is so much hoopla around this. When I see a comment comparing an affinity mgroup for black kids to a whites only men’s club from the 50s, when I see folks guffaw at the notion of systemic racism, I understand better the root of y’all’s drama and outrage… [/quote]

There is not “technically” an affinity group for everyone. There are three.  [b]There’s a Black affinity group, which as far as I know is the only race based group that is getting school sponsored playdates.[/b]  The entire school just got a second email about the “Black Family Social.”

There is the white affinity group which was directed to sit around and examine white racism.

And there’s a weird middle group where SWS lumped together: native born, refugees, multiracial/mixed race, or of immigrant status. [/quote]

How is this not blatantly illegal?! A public taxpayer-funded school in 2023 should know better.[/quote]

I beg you to please go to the white affinity group and demand for your play date. In fact, I’ll bring the popcorn. [/quote]
