[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry. "Training" for PARENTS?  Are you serious?[/quote] Yes, it is absolutely imperative that parents learn how to talk about race and equity with their children. You do realize that parents ignoring these things and saying things like "I don't see color" are how we got here, right? If your kids are going to learn about something, you should be able to support them in that at home. A school can reasonably assume that it doesn't have to teach you reading, writing and arithmetic (though a good school will tell you HOW they teach subjects) to be able to reinforce learning at home. It is not reasonable to assume that all parents are going to have a nuanced understanding of this topic, one that is stressful and challenging for many to discuss with good faith and good information.

Well aren't you the authority on this subject.

Just for the record, I don't see color. And I'm teaching my kids (who are in local privates) to behave and respond in the same way. We look at the content of one's character. And I presume your character to be quite elitist. [/quote]

You do see color. You just make a well-intentioned effort to ignore it. However, that may be unsuccessful and harmful.[/quote]

Yes you note it. Just as you ignore all other physical characteristics of a person. A person is tall. A person is fat. A person has a disability. A person has a deformity. A person has a red shirt. Why should I make any judgement about a person when noting these characteristics?
