+1 on the good intentions, but I'm feeling less confident about SR getting to the point where it's a real conversation and different viewpoints are discussed. I'm less confident because it seems like the school is committed to Kendi's vein of DEI and that does not allow for real conversation, space for students to come to their own conclusion. Also, after the last communication, it sounds like SR is doubling down on their chosen approach. Maybe I'm wrong.

It's not designed for conversation and the exchange of different views. That's the whole point. If you're white, you're automatically part of the problem and you can't escape it.

It's inherently racist.

The irony is completely lost on the bleeding hearts that run SR.[/quote]

Agree with this.  Why can't the school find a way to educate about racism, unconscious bias, etc. without making certain kids feel like they are part of a problem? Here's a novel idea: unite them in working towards a better, more caring and compassionate way of life for all human beings -- without singling some of them out.  [/quote]

Real question...have you asked any questions to the leadership of the school about the program?  I mean c’mon, why are we going back and forth about this? Even with the best resources, teaching about racism and unconscious bias is hard! Every organization is struggling with it! I mean if Apple, Amazon, Google and the federal government can’t get it right, how is the heck is SR supposed to? I mean they have teachers/staff teaching this stuff that probably sat through a two, six hour online classes while they were drinking a glass of wine after teaching DL class all day. I mean that’s no excuse, but at least their trying.

Instead of being talking about the problems, let’s talk about solutions. Does anyone have different, new resources to recommend to HOS that might be helpful? Maybe you shouldn’t have to this when your dropping 40k per kid, per year, maybe it’s just for show, I don’t know.  I just think bashing a school, that you are dropping 40k doesn’t sound like a good idea, and isn’t like to lead to positive outcomes.[/quote]
