If you tell a girl that she can become a boy by simply saying I’m a boy or vice versa you’re not committed to DEI.

cool story bro and great virtue signaling.

is that the best you can do?

and where is the real OP?

so silly.

HA is not committed to DEI. They only accept one type of student.

Surprisingly, the schools most committed to dei are holy cross and holy child.


what type of student do they accept?

Guessing you were rejected by HA? Glad you have found a school more suitable to your needs/desires. And HA and NCS are not for everyone; and nor should they be.


take that! nothing like a good cat fight - keep it coming ladies!

No, I am the PP and I am not connected to the Holton admissions team. I don't care about Holton one way or the other. The title of this thread caught my attention because I am skeptical of DEI and the motives of people who push it, and I want to hear more about the OP and why they would leave a school based on how its enrollment contract describes it DEI philosophy. someone who is cynical would say that, assuming the OP is not a troll, their are either a white virtue signaler or a black who wants special perks and status, so I am asking for the actual reason and perspective from the OP. Without attacking me, can the OP give a meaningful answer that question? my guess is no, but let's see.

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.




It's interesting that the OP did not respond to this. I can respect that a family, black or white, would think that a school's commitment to DEI is an important factor in choosing a school. But I can't see how DEI could be so important that you would withdraw from a school, past the deadline for applying to peer schools, because of a change in wording of the enrollment contract. OP, can you give a bit of background about your family and why is DEI is so important that you are trying to leave the school?

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.



Any specifics how their culture is not in line with DEI?
