[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP please let us know where you send your kid so we can stay away. I don’t want my black child going to school with anymore white folks who don’t think institutional racism is “real”. [/quote]

Maybe I have it wrong, but my take is that OP is saying that she wanted to go to a place where there wasn't groupthink and there was room for dissenting ideas. I didn't see anywhere where she objected to teaching about institutional racism. But I do get where you're coming from. It sounds like you're concerned about white folks tendency to do performative/self-congratulatory stuff on race and only want to deal with it on an ad hoc basis and when convenient to do so.  And that's very valid.

I read OP's post as wondering if there if the school can make room for those who might be pro life, or not fully comfortable with mixed gendered bathrooms. But, yeah, I see how you might also see a concern about "groupthink" be code for not wanting to tackle topics like white privilege.[/quote]
