[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is that instead of just having a club for girls or a club celebrating a particular cultural group -- which probably could have gotten them close to what they wanted -- they worded this in a way that's at least potentially illegal, and someone who doesn't like them decided to draw attention to it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. [/quote]

If you read the article they are inclusive of all genders and races. So no it's not worded poorly nor possibly illegal, it's a frivolous lawsuit brought by a bunch of white supremacists to undermine educational resources for anyone who isn't a white male. And if they win it'll be because the courts are stacked with white supremacists and we live in an era of fascism.

If you can't see that than either you agree with the white supremacists or you're so far up your own privilege you think anything not worded specifically with you in mind is bad.[/quote]

I think the lawsuit is silly but you calling everyone who doesn't 100% agree with the way you see things a "white supremacist" is perhaps even sillier.[/quote]

I mean it's a group of white supremacists who are suing a school in another state for promoting the well being of Black girls despite the club being open to all genders and races. [b]It's no different than suing someone for the existence of a Jewish Student Union or an Italian heritage society.[/b][/quote]

This is the key point. No other identity-based clubs are being targeted, despite the fact that they all exist to celebrate/empower certain identity groups. All of these groups are open to all attendees, but only the groups focused on Black identity get sued. Why is that?[/quote]

Cite your sources that these other groups exist at DCPS. [/quote]
