[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]convinced that all the people on here saying DEI is not needed and saying their a POC aren't real. Asking for improvements is one thing but saying its all junk is not; saying you have friends who have done this work for 20 years and now want a new career is also bunk.

I'm a POC and while I have critiques about some of the fake optics of DEI, I'm fine that there is less tolerance for BS in the workplace.

I have been given appologies for thing that 20 years ago were hurtful but now are finally seen for being toxic. I work with young women who don't tolerate BS from anyone, this is the direction I want. They don't tolerate the sexism of my youth (which was so much better than the 50s) and they dont' perpetuate the racism of the 50s or 90s or that I see here.

DEI is a big step; proper DEI is not celebrating black history month once not doing nothing else (a lot of DEI folks do this but its better than nothing, I said proper not bare bones).

But there are people out there whose sole job is to sew disharmony. Think of all the non-Loudon county residence who show up to school board meetings to scream at elected officials.

People want to pay $60K for their kid to go to school they know what they are getting into.

There are a ton of born again schools where they can pay less and not have heathens and gays and women not in skirts teaching their kids.

I know a TON of Republicans who send their kids to DC area schools costing $60k- they left the Hill and are now making bank on K street. They are still sending their kids to the DEI schools; they have zero problem with it. They find people who protest and get uppity about it in polite society weird and unhinged.

Why should we believe you are a POC when you refuse to believe others who say they are? Is yours the only valid POC view?
