Apparently they have not heard that "Latinix" is not very well liked.

Quite a few things they are doing are not very well liked, or I had hoped so.

 

Wonder if the have similar policies for the school bus, water fountains, cafeteria?

  Did you actually read all of the information on the site and understand what they are doing, or are you reacting to something you imagined?

No it isn't .... All my friends and colleagues that went to elite schools know that this word is the proper word to use. I don't care if you think it isn't because YOU ARE WRONG. So stop being a fascist racist xenophobe

I posted the relevant parts. To avoid confusion.

   You appear to have posted selected parts. Perhaps to create confusion?

 

[Boiler 45,673]

Relevant parts. I linked the source.

 

And yes it says you can go to ones you do not identify as.

 

Beggars belief who thought this was a good idea.

 

Full disclosure I went to Brentwood School, fortunately not this one and am pretty sure we never had such racist events.

   If you have been following, this is an ongoing process and was developed around input from all parents, staff and students. Part of that was hiring a research group and setting up a forum for discussing issues specific to different groups in a Q/A format. I'm really curious what you find racist about that. 

 

    As we saw earlier, some people seem to think we can tell how racist someone might be by knowing how many black friends they have. I always find it more revealing to see what people actually think is racist, what is not racist and how they act and respond to those situations. I can ascertain a lot more about someone from that.

Ahh yes interesting in how Separate but Equal has been taken up by Progressives.

 

I do not buy it.

   I apologize if I'm missing something here. I guess there is an inherent difficulty in having a discussion on racism when one person only responds with one liners and doesn't really answer any questions. I'm trying to fill in the blanks around that, but no matter the amount of speculation and/or lax definition of the term, I honestly still don't see where you are seeing racism.

Obviously hopefully Separate but Equal was well before my time and I am not sure I was aware of it before it came into modern Progressive thought.

 

I did look it up, got a gist for the history of the time and what happened but certainly do not profess to have an in depth knowledge.

 

There was nothing I came across that would lead me to support such policy and plenty to oppose it.

 

If I missed something compelling please let me know.

That was the term for segregated schools

There were also events for teachers and grandparents. That ageism and classism, no pun intended.
