[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, it's gay dude from the other thread reporting ;)

It is a bit of a coincidence to have two such threads so close to each other but I'll reserve any judgments about trolls because, look, there are plenty of people who share OP's views. Many gays aren't on the whole DEI wagon and don't buy into gender identity arguments. And plenty don't like the notion that queer activists act as if all gays and lesbians have to have identikit progressive left wing beliefs or they're not real gays and lesbians. Whatever.

In the DC area, the Catholics named on the other thread should tick the boxes. As would places like Potomac and SSSA. [b]The more progressive a school, the more likely kid will feel cultural pressure to confirm himself into the queer for Palestine cliques and start shaving/dying his hair and wearing cut off jean shorts with army boots and the latest queer flag on his tote bag [/b](I think there's now one with the Palestinian flag). Irony is that progressives are typically the most conformist and non-diverse people there are. [/quote]

Yep. I think there's a lot to this. My kid is very independent-thinking now, but when he was in a small over-the-top nonstop, live-breathe-eat-DEI school he conformed to all things of this ilk. Now, he's back to just being a kid. Removed his own labels and says he just wants to "be himself, whatever that is". And I think it is awesome to see him coming alive. [/quote]

I have not found this to be true. Using Burke as an example, the school definitely works at creating an environment that values diversity, equity and inclusion but Burke kids are not particularly conformist. They are all over the place in terms of what they look like, how they dress, and what they are into.[/quote]
