The Wheeler School in Providence, Rhode Island, excluded white students from attending a guest speaker event, allowing only those who “identify as a student of color or multiracial” to attend.
In a February 7, 2022, email to sixth, seventh, and eighth graders, the school invited only non-white students to attend a “Students of Color affinity group” speaking event with actress and author Karyn Parsons, who is best known for her role as Hilary Banks in NBC’s The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

“Affinity group” is a pet name used by critical race theorists and other leftists typically for racial segregation. The term is also used for other forms of segregation based on “common identity characteristics,” as it places paramount importance on those attributes in order to justify excluding those with different characteristics from participating in activities.
According to parents and students at the Wheeler School, who reported their experience to Parents Defending Education (PDE), “white students at the middle school level were not allowed to attend.” At lower grade levels, the racial segregation was reportedly not observed.
Parsons responded to criticism on Twitter, but does not appear to have denied the racial segregation, justifying it by saying all the students could have met with her in the other sessions at which she presented.

The white kids should quit the school.
“It’s different when we do it..”
No, Madam, there is no difference.
You are promoting segregation of the races.
That’s going backwards.
The whites had to use the outhouse and the water hose. But they could wave to her from a distance.
A class action lawsuit would be better, to bankrupt the school district.
It’s a private school.
Are there assigned drinking fountains?
Well, the white students could simply take this... or... Do another thing.
That “other thing” is probably coming down the road a bit, and I don’t think that current conservatism will approve of what it will be. That’s okay, it isn’t likely to happen within our lifetimes or soon enough to save them. The frogs will continue to boil just slow enough...
Segregation makes a comeback.
Time for “Whites Only” private schools.
Seems segregation is alive and well. And here I thought “people of color” wanted to end segregation.
Thanks for clarifying; don’t know how I missed that fact.
Then, the White students need to go elsewhere.
Liberals want blacks to be so conscious of their skin colour that they want to be segregated. They are accomplishing now what the 1950’s liberal could not do.
Segregation is back again, courtesy of the democrats.
Why would anyone want to ‘meet’ with the racist speaker in ‘other sessions’ when they were already told ‘we don’t want your kind here’? Like having to come through the back door.
Sue. It’s the only thing these communists understand.
Whites to blame for black on Asian crime.
That’s mighty white of them.
Racist much?
