I don’t even know what you’re talking about anymore.
1) You seem upset that you weren't invited to the Person of Color dinner. Would you also be upset if you weren't invited to the bachelor party with all the men? Do you think you have the right to force your way into spaces in which you aren't wanted? Why? Inferiority-complex?
2) Why would you want events open to everyone? Do you think inviting everyone makes an event more fun? Why?
So in the context of this school, you feel the 'Colored family's' low grades are due to being deprived of a fair shake at the hands of White people?
I don't know if this undertaking on the part of the school was related to grades. Another poster expressed that she believed it was.
The POC who participated in the survey were asked to describe their positive and negative experiences with the school. It was very open ended.
The school also seems to have a high number of low-income students. How that plays out by race I don't know. The disparity in grades could be related to that or be some combination of race/socio-economic status.
All I know is that the school posted results of their survey and some issues were related to race/culture.
How is it a no-go zone for asians, when the creator has asian children?
Maybe the creator has internalized the stereotypes about Asians always being at the top of their class, and thus she doesn't want them at this event where they might make the lower-scoring POC feel bad about themselves. Or, maybe they're counting Asians as POC for these purposes so they're allowed to attend. Who knows? I certainly don't look to leftists for logical consistency.
Why not? What is the purpose of government schools?
"The most erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else." - H.L. Mencken
"The most urgent necessity is, not that the State should teach, but that it should allow education. All monopolies are detestable, but the worst of all is the monopoly of education." - Frederick Bastiat
"The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda - a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make 'good' citizens, which is to say, docile and uninquisitive citizens." - H.L. Mencken
You have made it clear what Mencken and Bastiat thought.
The purpose of public schools is to provide a basic education to all students. Having a citizenry where only the elite are privileged to a formal education and a large percentage of the population is illerterate desirable or conducive to global competition.

My kids don’t attend this school but if they did, I would be upset with the school for planning a divisive, racially segregated event that violates the Constitution and the district policies. I’d be upset that the school thought this was a good lesson for the kids.
Community events at a school should be for all families.
Why do you want to exclude people based in the color of their skin?

Your words? In any case, after reading more, this isn't about students of color having separate/extra time on the playground.
It was established at the request of parents of color so they could network/get to know each other to compare notes on issues regarding their childrens education that they feel relate to race/culture.
Further, any family is welcome to show up. The playground is just there to babysit the kids while the parents talk
I still dont know where you are pulling this from. I have not read any such thing and you refuse to post any links to this information.
The purpose of public schools is to provide a basic education to all students. Having a citizenry where only the elite are privileged to a formal education and a large percentage of the population is illiterate. Desirable or conducive to global competition.
The purpose of government schools is to serve the interests of the government.
The government wants a standardized citizenry incapable of original thought, with a few select members being trained as future leaders.
That has been true since the beginning of history. The only difference in modern times is the methods and scale.
