The Centennial Elementary School in Denver is facing harsh criticism for planning a “Families of Color Playground Night.” • The event was listed in a Facebook post advertising the school’s diversity and inclusivity initiatives.
• The page listed the event as a monthly activity taking place on the second Wednesday of every month.

An elementary school in Denver faces backlash on social media for organizing a “Families of Color Playground Night.”

A huge sign promoting the event was spotted by writer Chris Rufo, senior fellow and director of the initiative on critical race theory at the Manhattan Institute think tank.

Rufo said in a tweet on Tuesday that he was told by Centennial Elementary School, the school hosting the event, that the event had been organized by the institute’s Dean of Culture, Nicole Tembrock, but was subsequently canceled due to COVID-19 protocols.

The event is currently listed on the school’s website as taking place every second Wednesday of the month.

However, the event was still included in the line-up of upcoming things to look out for as part of the school’s push for “diversity and inclusivity,” per a Sep. 30 Facebook post by Centennial.

Pictures of the playground sign advertising the event at the Centennial Elementary school circulated on social media, prompting criticism from Twitter users who called the event “disturbing.”

Dave Kopel, a law professor at Denver University, also pointed out in a tweet that the event may be in violation of the Colorado constitution, which stipulates against discrimination on account of race or color.

Fox News obtained a statement from Centennial school officials, who said that the event was created because parents requested it.

Give them their way and have schools segregate. Let’s see who does better over time the whites or the other color.

Blacks are saying they’ll soon have the upper hand in the US. You-tube and many of the advertisers are assisting. Heck I can’t watch a single video without it packed with black ads for merchandise I wouldn’t buy or want. Lots of wannabe temp actors that will have that ONE moment.

You’d swear the black population was 80% of the country based on commercials. And everyone is smart and the white guy is dumb as a post.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Pull your kids out and homeschool and let them have their segregated school.

I noticed that too. I mute and/or skip all those commercials, and ignore the product. Get woke, go broke I say.

If the parents requested it, tell them NO, because that would make it a segregated event and our school doesn’t do those.

More like we live in South Africa rather than the USA. However it’s propaganda by the leftist media giants as they promoted the lingo “Do you see us”....and the proceeded to do what the left always does...shove it down our throats.
