While I don’t agree with a school holding exclusionary events, at least in this poster’s case they held it at a restaurant and not on public, tax payer funded property. I understand that people self segregate, but do that stuff at private properties or establishments and not on public property.
Weird that people think this is cool, given all of the division in our society as it is. Is this progress?
How is it not progress if people meet and combine intellects to solve whatever they perceive to be their problems?
Conservatives are always blaming minority parents for not being involved in their children's educations.
Here you have minority parents engaging with the school system in the education of their children.
You lose a lot of credibility when you claim that sexism and racism aren't equal.........at least in my book.
Nice try. I made no such claim. I am pointing out that in a thread about Racism, people seem to want to hijack it with Sexism. Seems White women want to hijack Minority racism with it,..lol.
When I say Mom's night is cute, You are the one saying it is sexism, not me. To any normal human who understand the intent and thought and can discern when real hate is implied it isn't a problem.
I personally think about how my kids would feel if I drove them to their school and they saw the sign talking about POC playground night and then asking me about why their school was planning a fun night for their friends and excluding them. If it was inclusive it would not mention race.

Why is that a problem?
You're advocating for racial advocacy groups. So Hispanics get together to discuss how to improve their races collective average. Whites will naturally want to do the same. Why settle for equality? Every race will want to improve their collective score, because obviously that's in the interest of their race.

Your observation seems accurate, they don’t want to admit that it’s just as messed up to have a person of color playground night as it would be to have a white playground night. Deflecting is easier for some than actually thinking this through and recognizing it for what it is.
No one is saying that. Just pointing out that people hold these types of events and it’s interesting where/when the offense come in. People aren’t offended at the moms group because they understand the experiences of mothers. Someone could make the same argument for people of color. Not that I agree but they very well could.
I think a previous poster mentioned where the offense may come from, I mean aside from some perceived hypocritical standard of equality . In that, they wouldn't have as much ground to stand on if this took place off school grounds, right?
I won't stop them, if they are all agreeing to it. I just think it is unnecessary to word it as such, like you said.
Especially since it is open to All anyway.
Is it presupposed that any event, unless noted is for White people? At a school with a large amount of non-whites?! Seeing those other threads about CRt making whites feel guilty, then I see this that, if it were me, would make me feel ashamed and called out( being non-white), makes me wonder who is benefiting here on either side.
