[quote=Anonymous]Schools have a particular responsibility to acknowledge their own history and complicity in egregious events of the past. This is because schools have an explicit charge to impart knowledge and truth to the next generation, which requires self-introspection. Many universities are grappling with their slave-owning past (see Georgetown as one local example). While I don't think that you need to dismiss a school altogether for sins that happened in generations past, the notion of sweeping its own history or white-washing its institutional history is troubling. How, in this post-George Floyd era, does a school that is committed (presumably) to non-discrimination and equity (presumably) not acknowledge its own past? Private schools often have an unofficial school historian. That might be a good place to start.[/quote]
