The infinity groups are the worst. Not at SSSAS, but a different Alexandria private. Pre-Covid, our school [b]required[/b] kids to join an affinity group and meet during the school day. There were quite a few to chose from: women, LQBTQ, Black, asian, atheist, Jewish. My white, straight, Christian son had no group to identify with. They created a group for all the white, Christian straight boys - “supporting diversity” affinity group. First meeting they had to write down all their privileges in a list. It was a great way to make my then 12 year old feel like sh*t about himself. [/quote]

Wow - what school is this!?[/quote]

Huh?  We are at Burgundy and not aware of any such affinity groups.  Their sports and after school programs are actually somewhat limited.  Never seen or read anything about a single affinity group and we are in middle school![/quote]

Pre-covid. Current 8th grade did this while in 6th grade.[/quote]

+2 Yes, Burgundy did this a few years ago in middle school. When Covid hit they changed the schedule and it was eliminated. They haven’t reinstated the affinity groups so far. Forcing affinity group participation was not well received by some kids and parents, so maybe they decided to get rid of it for good?[/quote]
