Not one person is caucasian; just one appears to be hispanic/indian.

On one level, so what. But on another, it's very much NOT these things we're constantly told are so essential to success:

- diverse
- welcoming
- inclusive

In short, it doesn't give me warm fuzzies that my kids "belong" in DCPS. Are they even wanted? And was this by design, or are the people in DCPS communications simply tone deaf?

I assume that if MCPS sent a similar email showing only caucasians, I'd be reading about it in the WaPo.

Its so funny you say this! I analyzed a DCPS school calendar a decade ago for grad school - same low percentage of white faces. Yeah, diversity cuts both ways...but doesnt in DC? Such dumb marketing.

That said, including the spectrum of kids found in DC, AA, Asian, White, LatinX would be more inclusive.

My kids will not see this email and my kids are fine at their schools but I think it would be nice to think about such things.

And I am capable of caring about more than one issue at once, so caring about this does not preclude me from being about to care about supplies and playgrounds.

And I do not care a whole lot, but that is because I am suspect of the chancellor's competence overall anyways.
