Thanks for your perspective PP. Are you opposed to the overall DEI effort by SR, or just the particular Multicultural Festival breakout groups that have caused concern among some families?

This sounds like a PR person.

I wrote the post and I am absolutely not a PR person.

Then what are your thoughts on the issues you presented?

I think the DEI effort that SR has undertaken is important, especially in light of the feedback they received from their students and alumni of color last summer. I think the Better Together discussions among parents they have conducted have been good, but there hasn't been one for awhile and i wish more parents participated. My DD is a 9th grader and participated in the Multicultural Festival and thought it was good. She was in a White Accountability group and did not feel threatened - she said she learned a lot and it helped her appreciate the history of white privilege in our country. The students themselves help lead the DEI efforts in the Upper School too, so they have a voice in the process.

Like anything else, there is always room for improvement, and not everyone is going to like it. But I think they have made a good faith effort to do better than they have in the past and work to make the school more cognizant of the need to be more inclusive.

That's what everyone thinks at first. Wait a bit and you'll find the shine fades.

She must know many parents are against it bc she’s trying to hide it. Her lame email tonight didn’t help. I hope enough parents speak out to save SR from becoming just another one of many ultraliberal DC private schools. I’m not criticizing liberal schools, but we should be able to have a few top schools that are conservative or at least politically neutral as well.

There’s much to love about SR. If we can get this one issue fixed I’d recommend it highly.

Totally agree with you.

You pay a fortune to send you kids there. Csn you recall the HOS? St. Bart's successfully accomplished this a few years ago I think.

The head of school is wonderful, she has the full support of the board, other alums, the faculty, major donors, and most parents. The idea that someone would recall her over promoting diversity, as all of our peer institutions are doing and the network of Sacred Heart schools strongly encourages, is ridiculous. If you really don't want your daughter exposed to any diversity programming this is not the school for you.
