What "structural privileges" do racial minorities or non-straight people have?

Oh, and those who are anti-DEI...that is just garden variety racism.

As someone that was in the DMV in 7th grade that didn't happen here.

Which school?

If you want me to prove my bonafides then all I am going to mention is Kilamanjaro, Tracks, and the Tenleytown Roy Rogers.

Now tell me what schools in the DMV were minimizong slavery in the 80's, 90's, or 00's.

Omg omg kilamanjaros- that and tracks takes me back.

Then I read a proposed curriculum that asserted that Mathematics’ focus on students getting correct answers was indicative of white supremacist culture. I then looked into DEI further and was shocked to discover what is creeping into public school curriculums and lesson plans.

It’s a bunch of garbage 90% of the time and a total money grab for unqualified new DEI “experts.”

Even San Fran fell for an extremism activists new low quality “curriculum,” currently audited by parents, board, and national news and was recently terminated.

It’s wild that SF banned algebra in 7th and 8th. However to be fair - the fact is that trends upend public school curriculum all the time - like “whole language” displacing phonics. The current harmful trend is deciding that “direct instruction” (ie teaching) is anathema to education. So it’s not all equity. It’s that K-12 in the US is frighteningly bad unless it is externally structured like AP and IB.

Totally irrelevant to DC private schools.

This is utter BS
fear mongering from the rw crowd

trust me, we WISH it was

So no evidence of this happening in a DC area private school (the topic of this thread)?

I don't like your facts so I'm changing the scope of the thread to some very small corner because I can't refute the claims!

See question and see where you are. This is a DC message board and a question was asked about private schools because it's a DC message board it is about DC private schools.

You are deflecting as you were trained to sew contention and make people second guess.

BTW people have written books about folks like you who do this and make people question things they know to be true.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the locals are outnumbered here. You're fighting an uphill battle on many levels. You know that which is why you feel the need to insult. And who trained me in sewing? What are you talking about?

“The locals are outnumbered”

I doubt that, but the outsider agitators are as loud as they are ignorant.

You doubt that, but you can't really say for sure, can you? Your ignorance is on full display with your poor grasp of grammar and spelling but don't let that stop you as you name call and flail uselessly.

You are confusing posters.

And we can ask Jeff to be sure about outside agitators. My money is that the most inflammatory posts are primarily made by a small number (1-2) non-DC posters.
