You need to keep in mind the slant of the articles you are reading and the fact that this was "discovered" by a far right wing activist whose agenda is to take anything the slightest bit race related and connect it to CRT.

This isn't about the school. This is about winning elections.
Then you have no credibility. When everything read by the media, and what I say on their fb page does not support what you are fabricating it appears yours is the slant.
Of course it was a right wing who brough attention to it as a left wing would have if the sign said white families playground night as they always highlight race and make everything about racism. I did not see anything said trying to connect this to CRT.

And if a group of white women said they wanted a playground night for white people they would and should ignore that request.

Click on the equity tab. This schools’ main focus is on “equity” and teaching kids the principles of BLM, etc. they have many events and committees for kids and parents.
https://centennial.dpsk12.org/

I just read through the equity focus group results and the idea for black only or POC events came as an idea for action based on feedback based on 13 black families who responded to the survey. These events were meant to be “specifically for POC”. Which does show exclusion.

One criticism given by Hispanic families (25 families gave feedback) was that they did not like it when the school separated kids based on race, ethnicity or culture. The solution from the school? Hold events specifically for POC.

You can’t make this up.

Not surprised. All those resources and posters still try to convince us POC need to meet on the playground.

There is no indication of how many people responded which way on the survey.

Without knowing how many people said that, you can't make the point you are trying to make.

No school is ever going to cater to every issue of every single parent.

Yes there is. You can click on the link that says “presentation summary” and find that info. That is where my numbers came from.

The number's are how many families participated in the survey. The issues listed are either consolidated themes mentioned by more than one person or statements that read "I think....blah blah blah" which indicated they were statements from one person.

One person said they didnt like separating kids by color

exactly this! /\

Later this week some local Dem with start advocating to give POC there own special seats on the local busses.....right in the back!

Liberalism is clearly a mental disorder.

Here you have minority parents engaging with the school system in the education of their children.

Why is that a problem?
I think it is good for any parent to get involved in their child’s education. I don’t care about the CRT stuff and don’t think of it as some giant threat. I still think that holding exclusionary events on public school property is cringe.

Yep, Blondy lost the plot. Living up to the Blondy stereotype.
