[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SR parent of a high schooler here. We were aware of the DEI session the other Wednesday, but were not prepared for the breakout session, and the division by race / sexuality-gender. This really blew us away. We have been openly critical of the Kendi / Critical Theory bender that seemingly every school and business have unquestioningly embraced over the past 1-2 years, but had assumed that SR would tread lightly on this and not score own goals like this one. We were wrong. For everyone on this board saying that all the parents need to get with the program on this, we really beg to differ. We are progressive liberals... at least we were, until this became the new acid test. We are not OK with a movement that has its own infallibility baked in (if you criticize, you are an apostate... er racist.) Stone Ridge already follows one faith. This stuff is starting to feel awfully close to a religion. Not OK. We've stayed silent, mainly because there's nowhere else to go. But, all is NOT OK with parents, by a long shot.[/quote]

Did you talk to your daughter about the breakout session? Mine was in one (White Accountability) and had no issues and did not feel threatened in the slightest. And Kendi is no considered a CRT author.[/quote]

On (1) I would be more concerned if my daughter thought this was all great. That’s the point of this cultish movement; you brainwash those you can brainwash and banish those you can’t. On (2), just stop.[/quote]

Sorry, we'll just have to agree to disagree. My daughter is a pretty independent thinker who questions a lot of things. I talked to her about the breakout session and she said she learned a lot and didn't understand why people (or parents) were making such a fuss about it days after the event. That doesn't make her brainwashed. And I'm sure you would never say that to her face if you asked her about it in person. Anonymous internet posts give people a lot of courage to disparage others they have never met.[/quote]

Last time I checked a person's critical thinking and decision making skills aren't fully formed in the teenage years.  I am sure your daughter is very bright, but that doesn't necessarily make her or any of the other girls equipped to appreciate the nuances of the messaging the school is putting forth -- one where our white DD's are taught they need to be apologetic for who they are.  I am sorry but the school needs to tone it down.  Starting with the label "White Accountability".  [/quote]
