| Lamorinda community works to defend DEIB work |
| By Sharon K. Sobotta |
| As pushback against affirmative diversity, equity and inclusion practices show up in Lamorinda along with fears about critical race theory being a part of the academy, allies, educators, students and parents call on the community to move forward not backward.
Parents in the Diversity Equity & Inclusion committee at Campolindo High School aren't surprised about the Oct. 27 Lamorinda Weekly letter to the editor raising a red flag about local DEI efforts, as they'd already read similar messages in neighborhood social media platforms and heard similar resistance in school board meetings. Yet, they say they are not willing to go backwards.
"There's so much momentum ...read |
