[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Here's an article about the Black at GDS account: https://theaugurbit.com/2020/10/12/through-instagram-account-current-and-former-black-students-offer-scathing-criticism-of-gds-record-on-race/

From that piece: "At the start, Black at GDS received submissions of stories through a Google form, but eventually changed to accepting them in Instagram direct messages to better ensure the anecdotes’ authenticity. The account’s managers censor profanity and occasionally reject outlandish, inauthentic posts."

By their own admission, the account managers in that case took anonymous submissions via a Google form at the outset, like a lot of the other accounts - it was a good move to change to DMs, which are not prone to the same issues. But even they admit that they receive troll submissions and have to use their judgment.

Do I think 75% of the submissions on these accounts are real? Definitely. Are there fake ones mixed in? Absolutely. It's no different than your typical DCUM thread with someone going on about Crimson Commons and the Roster of Aces.[/quote]

This is not about GDS. I don’t know about the NCS posts as I am not familiar with those instances but definitely many of the posts at STA are true and are not written anonymously. Please start a thread about GDS if you would like to discuss that. [/quote]

+1.

Those who bravely spoke out about sta often did so without the veil of anonymity. Those spouting their thinly-veiled racism throughout this anonymous thread don't have an ounce of the courage those kids did, yet behind their anonymous submissions, they have the temerity to accuse these students of lying. Lying about easily verifiable and verified stories and events.

Then other randos come here to accuse gds and sfs students of lying as well.

With gaslighting parents like these, no wonder the schools can't get things turned around. They're stuck with the kids you've "taught."[/quote]
