Well first I don’t live in Montgomery county. Second, that all sounds like excuses that white people like to make when things happen to black people, so I’m not even going to spend time addressing them. You don’t know my experience, nor do I know yours, but I know one thing, when you’ve had a gun pointed to head, you’ll never forget it or the person that pointed it at you. I never want that for my children or yours for that matter.

AGAIN, has my DD’s experience at SR been perfect, no. She’s definitely had a few run-ins with other girls there that made me question why I sent my child to a school full of UMC white girls. Has she been called the N word, yes. Has she had to deal with people thinking she is poor and making jokes, yes. Has she had girls wondering how she could afford some of the things she has, yes. But all that BS, didn’t mean a thing to me, my DD is laser focused on achievement and not proving anything to anyone.  I may be giving my myself away here, but I really don’t care. Check the stats for where 2021 girls are going. I am overjoyed and blessed. My DD is exactly where she she wanted to be and her circle of friends is as well. Not a disappointment in the bunch.

Has the DEI program been rolled out to perfection, of course not. It’s not like they can spend six figures bringing in the best educators. I mean think about it, how’s the DEI being implemented at your job? Are folks really listening? Are they really? Are you?

I believe that SR builds strong young women of all races and cultures for those that WANT to be built, that want to engage. If you want the same old same old, well, SR is an expensive way to get it.

I’m really not caping for SR, but some of the comments here are clearly from some folks that haven’t been involved in the work SR has been doing. If you don’t see it, maybe SR is not the place for your family. I’m not being sarcastic with that comment. Those that are unhappy real should take a look at the direction SR is going and determine is it the place for their DD. I wouldn’t spent another dollar there if I was unhappy, did too much of that on k-8.[/quote]

I'm white and I too have had a gun pointed at me. You don't get to claim a special experience just because your skin is a different color from mine.

Everybody has experiences at school that are upsetting and which can linger for a long time. Again, you don't claim special experience just because your skin is a different color from mine.

You're right, you don't know me. You don't know the struggles I have had in my life, and the horrific things I have had to overcome.

You're not special. Everyone struggles. Life is sometimes a struggle. It sounds as if it worked out pretty well for you and your family, though, so maybe you should be more grateful for your good fortune, instead of demonizing an entire race based on assumptions that are incorrect.[/quote]
