[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for Maret, the selection committee was steamrolled. There was considerable opposition against Bisgaard that got ignored bc yes, some members wanted a person of color no matter what- even if he was mediocre compared to the other white candidates. Sad but true.[/quote]

Your pompous racism is showing when you call a successful head of school and nationally recognized leader mediocre. There is a saying in the black community that you have to be twice as good to get half as much. You are demonstrating that even though Dennis has gone to top tier schools for his education and been a head of school at other top tier schools (outside of Whittle), you refuse to recognize him as an equal. I hope if Maret families and leadership see this thread, they aren’t infected by the vile and vitriol that this poster and others anonymously spread due to their implicit bias.[/quote]

I would agree with your second sentence only if the order of “twice” and “half” was switched. Even if Dennis was white, people would’ve thought he was mediocre. I am sure many other people on this thread feel this way, but it looks like the emphasis on diversity was at play here. [/quote]

So you are saying that in the black community, you have to be half as good to get twice as much?? Is that really what you mean when you say the words should be switched?[/quote]

Everything in this thread is overly exaggerated and ridiculous, so it would be quite fitting if that’s exactly what the PP meant. [/quote]
