[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went. It was not pretty. About 100 there, give or take. I’d say it was over half Asian and South Asian parents who attended. Then whites. About six or seven black parents. I couldn’t identify anyone who may be LatinX.

Several Asian parents [b]said they absolutely did not want diversity,[/b] and an older white man said he didn’t either, because it would disrupt the “social cohesion” of students.  On white guy started mansplaining to the moderator how she should do her job.

I can understand being concerned that your kid might have to go to a whole new school. But I absolutely do not understand the backlash against more diversity at your own school.[/quote]

Did they say explicitly that  they did not want diversity? Or is that the interpretation of their words?

No. That’s what one Asian woman in the front left said, explicitly.[/quote]

Are you the same poster stating "Several Asian parents said they absolutely did not want diversity"?

Now we are backing up from "several" to "one"?
[/quote]

No. One said it aloud before the entire group. Others said it in my parent group.  So did one white guy.

I can try and write every single bigoted thing that was said, where it was said, time stamped, with context, but it will take awhile.[/quote]
