[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why it's such a contentious issue with many of you. The amount of gaslighting and hyperbole that parents are buying into is disgusting and hurtful.

I have not seen a single assignment many of you claim has been included in curriculums. I would blow it off to trolls, but I've heard parents slip and admit that it will factor in their following school selection. They are so threatened by something they know nothing about.

I don't understand why.

I am liberal but against DEIB being taught in school.  There’s so much nuance and it’s really tough for kids to understand so they just repeat talking points.  My DD talks about white privilege but doesn’t understand what it means - just that she has it and she shouldn’t take advantage of it?!  It’s all just someone’s opinion and I’d prefer that my kids have more of a classical education and learn grammar, sentence structure, etc.  Frankly teaching DEIB seems lazy on the schools part - teach those kids some hard to learn curriculum!

How is it being taught in school? links to the curriculum your school district uses and the standards they are teaching to it.

Or did they learn that MLK was a human and Medgar Evers was killed. Did your DD learn that when white people did the same thing in the 60s they weren't killed for it - i.e. white privilege and that she can think about what that looks like today?

Can you show me that your children aren't learning grammar and sentence structure (you know from a classical education).

DEIB is lazy. Yeah so lazy you didn't get the lesson.[/quote]
