[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I believe in diversity and equity. The way it is pushed these days is more like a religion where other opinions are not allowed (look at the Hamline University debacle.. I am muslim and every muslim I know thinks what happens is insane). I am a person who is an admirer of Edward Said's book Orientalism as well as the People's History of the United States. I am Arab so am staunchly anti-imperialist. But I think schools have gone overboard. Also there is very little critique of class. I get it - they are private schools. But it is hypocritical to be pushing all of this and ignore the class aspect.

My kids are young - Kindergarten and first grade so they haven't been exposed to a lot of this yet. But I am worried that there is some indoctrination going on.[/quote]

There is no indoctrination going on or is it treated as a religion.  You sound like FOX news. [/quote]

These schools are trying to provide a welcoming learning environment for all comers, not just the children of the rich/elite. The use of the term "woke" is really a tell in terms of where the OP is coming from.[/quote]

Please, these schools are trying to provide a welcoming environment that will attract the children of the rich and the elite. Every things they do if with that aim [/quote]
