the staff calls our school diverse, they
pride themselves off the fact that we strive for equality and fairness. with a school that's "melting pot" is 97% white this is already hard to believe. Stepping into the school you feel welcomed and embraced, as
long as you are white,
christian, rich, and a male. Anyone who steps even slightly outside of this category is judged. With
rape accusations higher than ANY other school in the district is this really a surprise? Their policy for handling situations like sexual assault was to avoid said person because they "have such a bright future". I didn't know a school could possibly make
people feel so unheard. White kids dressed in expensive brands just because they can, flaunting around their superiority complexes and saying the n-word along with other racist and
homophobic slurs. yikes. Some aspects of the school are great but the school itself is the definition of performative activism. On the outside they preach equality and
friendship but when it gets down to it they could not care less. When you have more than
one seminar and announcement warning the use of slurs yet not enforcing that sentiment in person it really makes you wonder. Any form of activism done has been to increase social capital. This is proved by the school doing close to nothing about rape culture until dozens of
girls started to speak out on social media so to save face they started making statements and enforcing what should have been happening for years.
Remember when Los Gatos
High School was on the news multiple times for being racist and even for blackface! What a stand up bunch of
kids I bet they learned their lesson and the school punished them! Oh.. they were just given a warning and the school said they would try to teach a less whitewashed
history and, "taking steps to better educate students"? Great...
