[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to think the same as you OP. I thought DEI pushback was simply racist republicans being racists.

Then I read a proposed curriculum that asserted that Mathematics’ focus on students getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture. I then looked into DEI further and was shocked to discover what is creeping into public school curriculums and lesson plans.[/quote]

This is utter BS
fear mongering from the rw crowd[/quote]

trust me, we WISH it was

So no evidence of this happening in a DC area private school (the topic of this thread)?

it's all over them, has been for years

what rock you been under[/quote]

1) that’s a whiney op-ed

2) it doesn’t give any examples of “getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture”

That curriculum was posted pages ago. Do try to keep up. [/quote]

So like I said, zero evidence that “getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture” is happening in private schools here.

I'm sure plenty of schools around here use materials from Tema Okun, the popularizer of all that stuff

but I guess what you need to see is a poster of it in the principal's office with the principal holding up their driver's license, that's fine

you should Google "Motte-and-Bailey" if you want to better understand your own argument[/quote]

Those of us with real life kids in real life schools know you’re full of crap. Go push your propaganda somewhere else. [/quote]

can you tell us which schools DON'T have it? we're actually looking; it would be helpful[/quote]

BS if you are actually looking you have your list of schools and can go down the list and ask the question to the schools yourself. If you can pay the tuition these schools are demanding you have the time/staff and know how.

what you dear troll are doing is trying to get a public list to slander or praise against

BTW no one is paying $60k a year for their kids not to learn. But try again. How is Siberia this time of year?[/quote]

Dude, they brag about it on their websites. And I mean the DC area privates - go down the list. Maybe not The Heights, but....

Of course you will immediately retort "yes but I bet they don't use that one White Supremacy poster that was in the Smithsonian Museum of African American History" to which I would retort "those ideas are a very widespread pollutant in the DEI field, as you would know if you read anything whatsoever about what its proponents actually say - so it's sort of beside the point whether they have a lesson plan posted on their site that includes those exact phrases." Just like if they had stacks of Dianetics books in the library (not sure if you're old enough to remember that), it wouldn't really matter if they were directly teaching the kids about thetans. The point is that they're bought into a body of thinking that, when you scratch with just a fingernail, gets very crazy very fast.

As to the $60k not to learn, they pay that for the social credentialing and for not having metal detectors. Learning, for many, is extra.

Sorry if I overloaded your synapses, but I figured it was at least worth a try.[/quote]
