[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people have been talking past each other on this thread.

I think part of it is because one crowd says "just show me where it hurts!" - assuming that without photos of worksheets or lesson plans, etc. it's a big nothing.

Then you have another crowd who's saying, in effect, "it all hurts" - meaning that they don't trust the "DEIB" institution, not that they don't think the English word diversity describes something desirable.

This crowd sees formalized DEIB as a cult, like Scientology, with a palatable front end (Scientology has self-help; DEIB has fairness) that hides some very crazy stuff.

To this crowd, just letting it in the door (schools having DEIB statements and hiring DEIB mandarins) is enough of a mistake, and can be assumed to bring the crazy with it, whether or not their kid has brought home some insane story YET.[/quote]

Good post.

There certainly is a deeply faith-based and religious aspect to a lot of DEIB. The believers have a hard time understanding why not everyone shares their faith and tenets. [/quote]
