[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I believe in diversity and equity. The way it is pushed these days is more like a religion where other opinions are not allowed (look at the Hamline University debacle.. I am muslim and every muslim I know thinks what happens is insane). I am a person who is an admirer of Edward Said's book Orientalism as well as the People's History of the United States. I am Arab so am staunchly anti-imperialist. But I think schools have gone overboard. Also there is very little critique of class. I get it - they are private schools. But it is hypocritical to be pushing all of this and ignore the class aspect.

My kids are young - Kindergarten and first grade so they haven't been exposed to a lot of this yet. But I am worried that there is some indoctrination going on.[/quote]

There is no indoctrination going on or is it treated as a religion.  You sound like FOX news. [/quote]

These schools are trying to provide a welcoming learning environment for all comers, not just the children of the rich/elite. The use of the term "woke" is really a tell in terms of where the OP is coming from.[/quote]

They are inclusive of people who agree with them.  If you don't agree with their views, you are not welcome regardless of your color or religion or ethnicity.  There are some private schools that are more open minded but GDS and Sidwell are proudly lefty and not tolerant of people who do not agree.  Agree or leave.  They have lots of sheep to fill your seat so they don't care about diversity of view.[/quote]
