[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a woman of color, I think this is great! It's voluntary, so I think it speaks volumes that so many white people are mad about it. You probably have some unpacking to do if a voluntary group makes you this mad.[/quote] It’s not that it’s voluntary or not. It that it expressly frames an immutable characteristic (white race) as something negative. Promoted by the school directly, this is not only Fox News clickbait, but also quite likely a violation of civil rights laws. No matter what people feel free to say on Twitter about “white people,” the government cannot engage in race-based hostility. And moreover, this kind of group actually does nothing for helping the school do its actual mission of educating kids. It’s not the way. [/quote]
