[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it hypocritical to have a racially diverse student body that is disproportionately wealthy? [/quote]

No. It’s to be expected.  Does it state anywhere that people pretend to want SES mixing? Isn’t that why people move to “good” public schools too - with neighborhoods that are relatively homogenous?  We all want better education for our children and pay in one way or another to get it.

[b]Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have beliefs, virtues, or feelings that one does not actually possess, often characterized by behavior that contradicts stated principles.[/b] It involves insincerity, such as condemning a behavior in others while practicing it oneself. Examples include people moving to public school for higher SES diversity but that school only drawing from a wealthy catchment area.

Who is the real hypocrite?

Such as a $60k school stating on its website that it seeks to make sure that diversity, social justice, and inclusivity are foundational principles.  Just delete this language. It’s so obviously performative.
