[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus, you people are embarrassing. These initiatives are not new (2015 at least), and they are designed to try to empower and boost achievement for groups that have historically have been left behind. I believe Obama's My Brother's Keeper initiative was part of the inspiration. You people complain that Black communities don't do enough to address problems in their own community and then get angry when we try to direct resources toward our children designed to do exactly that. [/quote] This is true but at least some of the school-based initiatives have expanded from exclusivity to include '& allies." The adults organizing these events should consider the impact on all of the children. The kids probably see the inherent separation as problematic and say something especially since much of the DCPS curriculum is centered around civil rights.[/quote]
