[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does someone who's "sick of DEI" stand for affirmatively? What are their values exactly?[/quote]

I didn’t write that myself but my 8th grader wants to write an essay without that focus.  Or have a history lesson without that focus.  He just wants a more traditional education where everything isn’t boiled down to identity or ethnicity or race.  It’s tiresome to have it seep into their daily eduction. [/quote]

But this is EXACTLY what the school said they do at the admissions open house.  Did you not believe them? This is what you signed up for. This is what you said you wanted to buy.[/quote]

It's been a while since we had our open house - we have high schoolers at GDS now. But before the world went crazy, GDS talked only about viewpoint diversity, being the first truly integrated school in DC. Nothing at open houses about single minded focus on DEI.

Of course, they want to model being mini-BU / Kendi institute now.

So they now say at open houses that every subject will veer into DEI/Social Justice framing?[/quote]

[b]We went to an open house in 2019 and this is what they were saying even then.[/b] We listened and went elsewhere. We tried again after Covid and had the same experience.  I don’t understand how anyone can claim they weren’t aware of the school’s intense focus. It was and is right there in front of you.

Fall Open House 2018 was the same.  The past years have been online so different in nature.[/quote]
