[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Idk what schools you all go to but my kids only learn about POC. They have a hero of the week and only POCs are taught. I think it’s a little off putting (heck Einstein was apparently too white even though Jews are targeted frequently for race) but I get it. [/quote]

Not sure about your school, but in most schools I have worked in the POC content is an addendum to the “regular curriculum” that is primarily white - because it was the standard from years ago. Overtime, cultural content was added so that it is a representative of the school community. All people should be included and cultures celebrated.[/quote]

The people who are wringing their hands over the end of DEI are often the same people who insist that all mentions of Christianity in public schools be banned.[/quote]

That’s not my experience at all.
