Public Schools in Seattle Hosting Racially Segregated Listening Tour With Superintendent

Have you noticed that many of the people who claim to be anti-racist often want to segregate students?

KTTH Radio reports:

Rantz: Seattle Public Schools to hold racially segregated ‘listening tour’ with superintendentSeattle Public Schools is conducting a “listening tour” for parents to discuss how to make the district more welcoming. But only certain racial identities are welcome at some of the meeting meetings.SPS and the Seattle Council of Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) is hosting seven listening sessions with superintendent Dr. Brent Jones. The remote tour starts on April 19. One of the sessions is for Black families and a second for Native American families. They also recently added meetings specifically for East African and Black Immigrant Families, plus Multigenerational African American Black Families. The district and PTSA believe these race-exclusionary meetings promote equity. But they may represent illegal discrimination.“The district is trying to segregate our communities,” one parent told the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH.Seattle Public Schools push racial segregationSPS says it’s committed to a nondiscrimination policy where it says it “does not discriminate in any programs or activities” on the basis of race. Yet they’re embracing “affinity groups” for meetings, which embraces a condescending claim that, in this case, black and Native American families don’t feel comfortable around families that don’t like themselves.“We often use affinity groups to invite a variety of voices, which reflect the many facets of our school community, into relevant and meaningful conversation,” a district spokesperson tells the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. “The upcoming listening tour is designed to offer safe and welcoming spaces so that unique perspectives, input, and concerns can be shared with the superintendent.”
