3. Defining Equity: Shhh, Don’t Talk about It

Let’s Pause. Before we more on, let me ask you this: has anyone on the EISD School Board or in the Eanes administration ever explained these ideas about equity before? Is it addressed in the District’s FAQs?  Has anyone from Eanes4Equity ever written this in the newsletter or sent it in an email? Is it posted at the top of the E4E Facebook page?

Nope.

Why not?

Why are members of the Eanes School Board and E4E defining equity in a way that NO ONE involved in the political arena is? Given the a national debate about equity, why is NO ONE who support the district’s DEI movement talking about it? If the entire DEI Inc. world is defining equity in a particular way—and that’s how it’s understood by everyone, locally and nationally, who’s paying attention to the political debate—then what does it say about the Eanes School Board and representatives of E4E that they are neither using the current definition NOR even acknowledging that it exists?

This is really important question because it speaks to credibility.
