[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You miss the point. By your logic it would be ok for a white supremacy affinity group to be formed and anyone who objected to such a "voluntary group" has some unpacking to do. Point is this: the voluntary nature of it is not relevant to the concerns being expressed. Or are you ok with the white supremacy group?[/quote]

I am not going down this road of "reverse racism". You KNOW it's not the same thing.[/quote]

DP. I don’t think anyone here or at SWS thinks that anti-white “reverse racism” is the same as racism. Or that a black parents group is the equivalent to a KKK group. My concern is more the casual, thoughtless way people seem to think making expressly anti-white statements is OK. Particularly by governmental entities bound by civil rights laws - which indeed, treat racism and “reverse racism” exactly the same. So no, you cannot make statements to school communities about the evil of “perpetuating whiteness” without courting serious repercussions, including legal action. [/quote]

It also just makes the Principal look like an unserious clown.  These are important issues, and when he turns them into caricatures of Republican talking points by telling people they should stop “perpetuating whiteness,” he's not helping anyone (except people who want to scream about "woke ideology"). [/quote]

Can someone please define what perpetuating whiteness looks like? It feels like there’s so much academic terminology these days that the layman is supposed to understand.[/quote]
