My kids are in a private school in Oakland, CA. Only since lockdown did I have any clue how extreme the ideology is that they've been learning. I consider myself a bleeding heart liberal, and DEI sounds much needed, in theory. But when I heard my elementary school child being taught that she is "cis-gendered, and profits from white privilege", I became alarmed. The teacher knows nothing about our family background, and I believe gender is a harmful social construct based on sexual stereotypes. My youngest believes she can choose to be a boy or girl- literally. The ever increasing focus on race has resulted in ever increasing tensions in the middle and upper schools. I would have taken my kids out for sure, but the public schools in our area never reopened after closing in March, and online learning is not an option for us.
