[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently they are proud of their restorative justice and DEI programs, if that's something you are seeking in a HS: https://fairfaxhs.fcps.edu/about/10-reasons-fairfax-high-school-stands-out[/quote]

That’s not a bad thing. [/quote]

It depends on how it is implemented.

Most kids love tacos and dumplings but it shouldn't come with a lecture on how white people are the source of all evil in the world.[/quote]

Lucky for you that’s not being taught. My DC is there. So I would know. [/quote]

I have no idea how it's being implemented at Fairfax but there are in fact schools that teach history through the lens of white oppression.
How exactly is DEI and restorative justice implemented at Fairfax?

Even if it's implemented in a benign way, there are opportunity costs to spending time on promoting a political POV, versus spending that time on more hard core academics, like math and science. It's a competitive world out there, and our kids need to be prepared to compete with kids from countries that are focused on academics, not navel-gazing at how to be more understanding of others' struggles.  Interestingly, this is just as important for the kids who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. The way to overcome disadvantage in this country is through education and it has been for decades and decades.  [/quote]
