School writing a diversity statement - what are your thoughts?

<< < (2/2)

Meh:
Its highly political that is my thought about it.

I'm with G on the politics angle.

Personally, I don't think this needs to be "political"; it starts simply in our understanding that while people are ALL uniquely different (thank God we're not all clones!) we can respect, cooperate, and care about each other.

If that part's understood and accepted in common among people (and for the most part I believe it is) - we don't need laws, statements or proclamations.

Just my 2 cents.

::Going back to re-read posts::.

I didn't see politics mentioned.

I'm curious if something about this thread hit you wrong, Boat.  Is it just the idea of writing what could be seen as a politically correct statement?

I think it might be that, but we're a school walking the walk.

I don't see a reason for NOT writing out a diversity statement if it honestly speaks to a community's attitudes and posture regarding the acceptance of all students. 

Hmmm.... I'll have to give that some thought.
