[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our upper school daughter was told she had to “pick a group” to join. When she didn’t fit into a group for someone of color or who identified as LBTGQ the only remaining group left was “white accountability”. What kind of name is that? We as parents are horrified.  We attend lots of unconscious bias training for our careers. We are not segregated at those trainings. SMH. [/quote]

My US daughter was also in a white accountability group and didn't feel threatened in the slightest. I think parents are getting too hung up on the name of the group rather than what the focus of the group was. The group learned what white privilege is, that it gives them an advantage in certain areas of life because of their skin color, and ways that they could try to address racism in our country. My daughter didn't mind the name too much because as she said, "what would we have instead, a White Pride breakout session?" [/quote]

Too hung up on the name? Well, yes we are when the name has such a negative connotation. Oh and also that they segregated groups this way. So much for a unified sisterhood. [/quote]

it was one breakout session in a day long event. I think people are too hung up on "accountability" - its not like the girls were blamed for the last 400 years of racism in this country. They were trying to show that it isn't enough to identify something as racist and then walk away - it is better to take action and speak out or act out against it. In other words, taking accountability for correcting a wrong.
