[quote=Anonymous]White SR parent here - I am glad that SR is making an effort to help the girls to revise history through diverse eyes and thoughtfully Revisiting what we thought we knew. Especially when our epistemology supports systematic injustices. We are a Christian school and the bible has many hundreds of references to God loving the pursuit of justice.

Also the future is brown and black if you look at demographic trends. At some point, our white children may be looking for more sensitive treatment as “minorities”, which they already are as white Catholics.

That said, i would not like to see the baby thrown out with the bath water. Certain classics should be retained but with caveats (e.g., “this is an example of white savior narrative” or “this is an example of elegant, well-crafted writing that substantively dehumanized perspectives of indigenous people” or whatever the case may be), ...

I may be in the minority but i think our girls need to be prepared for a kaleidoscope future where the perspectives of diverse types of people are deeply considered. [/quote]
