This!

Also, cut all the second tier superintendents by half, then cut their pay by 20%

There is no reason why we pay a DEI superintendent almost $300,000.

My oldest graduated from FCPS before DEI was a big thing.  All so kids mixed between ethnic groups and the friend groups were full of kids of all races.

My youngest is finishing high school this year, having gone through the formative teen years during FCPS heavy DEI push and emphasis everywhere.  The kids all mostly self segregate between racial, ethnic and identity groups, instead of just hanging with kids of shared interest.  It is sad to see how different the teens were pre DEI focus and now.

If this represents the fruit of the labor of FCPS dei focus, then cur all of it.  It has been a waste of money and actually harmed kids by focusing on perceived differences based on ethnicity and skin color.[/quote]

A little off topic, but having grown up in the equality era and now being in the equity era, it does feel like equality is a better path. We always learned don’t judge people by the color of their skin, but the equity approach seems to directly force us to do that.

I’m not convinced equity is the best path forward, and seems to run very counter to its intended purpose.
