A school with a toxic culture can scream its commitment to DEI repeatedly and it means NOTHING because toxic environments always hurt some more than others. They especially harm marginalized groups.

Stop mentioning HA and NCS as examples of strong commitment to DEI. They aren’t actually committed, they just say they are. They need to change their cultures before they deserve to be mentioned in this conversation.

This sounds great. Shouldn’t all people want to learn?

Awesome! I would love to pay 50,000 per year, and be asked to donate more at every turn, so that my own money paid to grifters who will come in and lecture my family and myself that we are unjust and bad people. where do I sign up???

This affinity/learning spaces are voluntary.

of course they are, but if you don't go, the DEI crowd will say that you are part of the problem, and if you do go, they will expect you to admit that you are part of the problem. And if heaven forbid you say anything (whether deliberate or inadvertent) that challenges or contradicts the narrative, then you are branded racist.

Perhaps that's true in your hypothetical world, but in the reality of the school only a small group of people who want to and have the time focus on the work choose to do so.

If you want an idea of how unpopular DEI has become, keep in mind how far left DCUM leans generally, yet this thread has a lot more people who are sick of DEI than defending it.

Such a bummer that the inference is always that only underrepresented minorities would care about DEIB. We should all care, regardless of our race.

PP here - I was NOT inferring at all that the OP is black. In fact I would not be at all surprised if they are white. But I would love to know their race, and then understand why DEI is the only factor, or at least the most important factor, in choosing a school.

Hmm I don’t think labeling people as anti-racist whites is making a space for those to learn. Oh, if I join does that make me not racist? Am I racist if I don’t want to join?

DEIB=Divisive, exclusionary, implacable bulls$*t

Fences don’t make good neighbors.

Burke usually has a second round of applications if spots remain available. Do not hesitate to reach out, they will be very understanding

Alabama for a week sounds a tad too strongly committed to this cause. That is out there. How long have they been doing that?

Why? That’s part of US history. Most kids take an 8th grade trip to DC, but DC kids don’t need that trip. May as well visit Alabama.

LOL. I'm old enough to have lived through MANY educational fads in America. This one is out the door as we speak

I think NCS has an equally strong commitment to DEIB in the area of girls’ schools. It is affiliated with the Episcopal Church, which is also out front on such issues.

Op is a troll
