[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an AA parent, this “mess” criticism is offensive. Have any of you considered that maybe the minority students appreciated these sessions? DEI work is difficult to hear, implement and process. If this work was easy to navigate we wouldn’t need it. [/quote]

Thanks for sharing that perspective. I'm a white SR parent and support the schools DEI's efforts and have been impressed with the level of involvement form the student leaders.[/quote]

I’m the AA parent quoted here. My DD is one of the student leaders for BSA and has been throughout her entire time at SR. I am truly grateful for the opportunities that being a student there as afforded her. I am catholic and wanted a strong catholic education focused on service, respect of other cultures, religions, and races. I think DH and me are great parents and have raised a great young woman, but there is no doubt in our minds that SR created a safe space for DD to explore, and be brave in the difficult spaces of navigating a white dominated culture.

Maybe if our/your children had these difficult conversations earlier life they wouldn’t be so difficult when it’s time to make hard choices as adults. AA have always had to tiptoe around white people’s feelings. Enrolling DD @ SR has given me exactly what I hoped for. She has a strong sense of community and commitment to social justice. Is it perfect? No. But no place is, but I got my more than my money’s worth. [/quote]
