[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son goes to GDS and we see first hand that among his friend group that in their words are " sick of DEI calling them racists".  [/quote]

and sexists...[/quote]

Exactly. I think they stopped using terms like patriarchy and toxic masculinity officially in the last year. It doesn't stop their assemblies programming from getting speakers on the "DEI Grift Circuit" from being speakers nearly every week.

"But we had a Fox News speaker once..." Come on, GDS. Do better. Take away assemblies programming from the DEI office.

Stop the stupid clubs vs. affinity groups designation (clubs get nary any budget but affinity groups get big budgets) - see student paper article today

You reap what you sow. You have a HS full of (yes full of) boys who were raised in liberal homes, went to GDS for liberal values, and were called toxic masculine and racist for 2 years. And you jam DEI assemblies EVERY single week. What do you expect will happen?

Part of the problem but whistling past the graveyard and pretending to be part of a (fake) solution.

Meanwhile as a parent, I have to undo the stupid boy rage concocted because they can't program assemblies without the DEI office agreeing on each one.

This is why more long time GDS stalwart teachers are talking about leaving after this year. Just watch. These are beloved teachers across subject areas who feel stifled in their ability to present balanced views.

Meanwhile, as a parent, you knew what you were getting into and send your kid there every day anyway. Have you actually gone to the school to complain? You need to be part of the solution, not a bystander.

We keep going over the same ground on this thread. You keep saying I knew what I was getting into 15 years ago when I chose to send my kids there. It was not the same school. Sounds like you disagree. [/quote]

DP actually. GDS has been on this trajectory for at least 12 years which is when we first looked at it. You didn’t see it back then? How could you have missed it? The thread keeps going over the same ground because it is hard to see how you can complain when you have taken no action to either leave or try to right the ship.

I’m a new poster here who started my child at GDS in 3rd grade who is now in high school.  I didn’t know to look at the content of HS assemblies.  He had an accommodation so spent most of time discussing that and other academic-focused issues in the lower school.  Remember they used to be separate campuses so didn’t spend much time dissecting upper school DEI topics.[/quote]
