[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't even the most offensive email that SWS leadership has sent recently about which students and families are allowed to go to which events.[/quote]

If you're so offended, take your kid out of the school.

You're mad because they had a social event for Black families and that all of this came out of direct feedback from black families at the school? I mean SWS can't win, first they are attacked on DCUM for being too white, then when they address specific and direct concerns that have been addressed, they're too woke? [/quote]

It did feel exclusionary to be honest. Is it really ok to have [insert race or ethnicity]-only events hosted by and at public schools? I don't understand how that brings a community together.[/quote]

White parent and I felt glad they did that in light of actual feedback I've heard (directly)/read (on DCUM) from other Black parents.[/quote]

What is the feedback you've heard? That black families want to the school to sponsor an event where only people of color are allowed?[/quote]

Where does the line get drawn? School-sponosored Black-only events are ok? Hispanic-only events ok? White-only events ok? I don't understand how this helps diversity and inclusion at all. [/quote]

These posts are ridiculous. There are Black Student unions/clubs at public schools, Asian Pacific American clubs at public schools, etc. etc. Never offended me personally, not sure why you are so sensitive. [/quote]

Except usually these groups are more welcoming of anyone and everyone. I was a member of the Jewish association at my school and I'm not Jewish. I just had a lot of friends who were, so I joined. I don't get the sense that these groups would be so welcoming.[/quote]

+1. We had a lot of white students join the South Asian group at our school because they wanted to be part of our bhangra groups at cultural night.[/quote]
