[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard from some white parents what I consider code language about her grammar, body language, and governing style. Just because you can't comprehend it because of your privilege (which you should firmly check), doesn't mean it's not there. [/quote]

Which is why I said "some parents," not "all parents" or "white parents," some. Some AA parents may also prefer a white principal for whatever reason. When white people describe black woman as "angry" or "bossy" or "dismissive" and talk about body language and grammar - this is usually conscious or unconscious bias. [/quote]

I agree people have unconscious bias. However parents have voiced very specific concerns and none were addressed over the years... and none had anything to do with her being dismissive, bossy, or angry. [/quote]

Right....she’s being held to a standard that you would likely not hold a white man to. She’s being made the scapegoat for DCPS.

Right... [/quote]

And with this post it is very clear, you are not a Shepherd Elementary school parent! [/quote]
