"Equity programs" which divide children on the basis of race in schools are quickly being eliminated after being ruled against in court. Does anyone really think segregating children on the basis of race in school is a good idea? Massachusetts School Settles Discrimination Suit, Suspends Race-Specific ‘Affinity Groups’ https://www.nationalreview.com/news...-suit-suspends-race-specific-affinity-groups/ Wellesley Public Schools has settled a discrimination lawsuit launched by non-profit Parents Defending Education on behalf of parents in the district, agreeing to end the use of racial “affinity groups” and any school-sponsored activities that exclude students on the basis of race. In holding three affinity-based group sessions — one for black and brown students, one for Asian American and Pacific Islander students, and a third for the Black, Indigenous, and people of color community — WPS engaged in racial discrimination, the parent coalition alleged. WPS superintendent Dr. David Lussier had also implemented a racially biased process for responding to complaints of discrimination, the plaintiffs alleged. After the organization requested a preliminary injunction, Lussier revised the procedure in November and then pledged that he would open all affinity-based listening sessions to students of all races beginning in December. Once WPS granted these concessions, the plaintiffs dismissed their prejudice complaint, PDE announced Tuesday. The superintendent also rescinded the bias procedure totally, promising to never reinstate it. All future advertisements for affinity-based meetings will include a disclaimer declaring that all are welcome: “This event is open to all students regardless of race, color, sex, gender identity, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation.” The Wellesley victory is an example of grassroots parents joining forces with an organization with resources and a platform to expose critical race theory in practice and counter it with legal action. While the plaintiffs were successful in this town, PDE has identified similar”affinity groups” gaining traction in school districts across the country. For example, Piedmont Unified School District in California, Newton Public Schools in Massachusetts, and Seattle Public Schools in Washington all hosted similar activities as part of an “anti-racist” curriculum in which students were separated by race, PDE reported. WPS parents initially raised alarms after the school encouraged students and staff to file complaints against one another for telling rude jokes “that mock a protected group,” referring to the “China virus,” and committing micro-aggressions or other “incidents of bias,” National Review previously reported. The school system had defined an incident of bias as “any biased conduct, speech or expression that has an impact but may not involve criminal action, but demonstrates conscious or unconscious bias that targets individuals or groups that are part of a federally protected class.”
MAGGATS:. I want to yell at kids "China virus, CCP virus, Wuhan Virus" Also MAGGATS:. How dare you exclude my kids from Asian counseling programs Brb, schools sets up counseling program for Asian kids being bullied as a result of the pandemic. White Karens:. "I DON'T THINK SO!" Wellesley’s “affinity groups” had held events aimed at specific races. School officials claimed no students or staff were excluded, but the families argued that isn’t what their children were told. The complaint quoted an email where a middle-school teacher said a specific “healing space” was “for our Asian/Asian-American and Students of Color, *not* for students who identify only as White.”
You do realize that separating children on the basis of race at school violates federal law. Even setting up an activity that appears to separate children on the basis of race in regards to its name or purpose violates federal law. This includes any classroom, in-school or extra-curricular activity associated with the school. Do you really think that segregating children on the basis of race at a K-12 school is a good idea? Do you actually think this aligns with law or common sense?
Except the schools were clear it was open to all but they likely settled because a teacher fucked up sending an email saying otherwise. Hell, probably one of these "Parents Defending Education" moles sabotaging shit
Well according to you hosting the "Confederate Heritage club" is just fine. How about an Aryan club while we are at it. If you allow clubs on the basis of race or interest -- then certainly you would find these acceptable at K-12 schools. Remember the part of federal law about "by name or purpose" with regards with an intent to exclude on the basis of race.
Oh I'm sorry, were kkk card carrying kids in these schools the targets of bullying, mass shootings, etc... In need of counseling? Brb, sorry kids, you can't have that Holocaust memorial next week.
It is kind of funny how whites excluded everyone for years and when the excluded look for a safe space.. whitey suddenly gets offended. I dont know if you should have school services sectioned off for specific races but rather clubs or support groups like in colleges, but I love how racism was ok for so long but now it is horrible because it happens to whitey...
