The Lower Manhattan Community School racially segregated its students this week to grapple with the question, "How do our racial identities influence our experiences?" according to the New York Post.
As part of a movement to "Undo the legacy of racism and oppression in this country that impacts our school community," the school divided students by race.
Douglas's email went on to explain that "Whites, Asians, and multi-racial students have their own categories, while African-American and Hispanic students are combined into one group."
Students uncomfortable with racial segregation as the medium for class discussion will be sent to a separate cohort to discuss the question, "Why are we even talking about racial identity?".
Douglas went on to say that her school had failed to deal with racial issues in the past.
In placing an emphasis on racial issues at her school - which demographic makeup is "44 percent Asian, 29 percent white, 15 percent Hispanic, and 8 percent black" - Douglas says "Students are talking about it since race has become a popular topic on social media, or parents are talking even more about it at home due to the recent incidents across the nation."
Other parents are supportive of the segregation, as they are placing trust in the school faculty to deal with the issue properly.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
