[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent from a foreign background, this article resonated with me. I feel lost here and feel like I no longer fit in.

The author of the article cites a few Washington DC schools:
“Georgetown Day and Sidwell Friends here in D.C..”

It doesn’t seem like any of these schools hide the fact that they embrace diversity and equity , etc. I think it’s great that many schools are embracing these things.   If a person doesn’t like a school’s ideologies they can obviously pick other schools..[/quote]

It’s about more than embracing diversity and equity. It really is o er the top breeding of social justice warriors to a ridiculous degree—only for the most privileged trust fund children who can afford it, natch. I’m a liberal btw.[/quote]

Lets not go too far here. They may embrace diversity, but their entire existence is premised on helping their students avoid equitable outcomes.[/quote]

Precisely. Don’t get carried away.

These schools would do much better to teach their students the truth which is that every wealthy society and sector of society has gotten there by exploiting another class or nationality or strata of people; that cheap labor is the foundation of prosperity for a minority; that historically the cheap labor has been black and brown people and women (and also poor white people); and that they are on a proving ground / training ground for becoming overlords themselves.

Not this nonsense that any Western society has ever achieved excellence while not also building on a foundation of abuse, bc it just isn’t true. [/quote]

You think woke prep schools teach kids that there is a Western society that was not built on a foundation of abuse? Which society? What are you talking about[/quote]
