[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Genuine question - do you have the same gut emotional reaction if you replace Black with LGBTQ+ for the same email?

i.e., if it read:

...we are excited to invite all families of children who identify as LGBTQ+ to the upcoming LGBTQ+ Family Social.

This special event is designed to celebrate and embrace the rich tapestry of our school community, specifically focusing on families with children who identify as LGBTQ+. It's an opportunity to come together and to strengthen connections and support among those of us raising LGBTQ+ children.[/quote]

DP. But yes I would.  I would be fine if it was parents organizing but not a school funded initiative [/quote]

Are you not ok with school groups for students who identify as a particular culture, religion, LGBTQ+, school groups for girls only then? Or which groups are you ok with and which ones not?[/quote]

I actually am not ok with any school groups based on gender, race or sexuality with school funds.  I don’t agree with girls on the run and don’t think it should be affiliated with schools.  I think DCPS has so many academic deficiencies that all of the bandwidth should be used for that.  Parent organized with their own money and not using any school funds?  Great have at it.

I think if they are using HSA funds those projects they need to be very clear in fundraising emails so that parents can make informed choices about whether to donate their money. [/quote]

....ok then you are opposed to all public schools with separate sports for gender? Boys soccer team vs girls soccer team?

Of note, the SWS committees are parent run, probably any funding provided by parent led fundraising group that is affiliated with the school (but separate funding then school public tax dollars, I think)[/quote]
