The language of DEI appears to be intentionally vague and confusing, making it hard to understand the true goals or how those goals will be measured. What are the true definitions?
Why should I be concerned about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in my school?
​
DEI = Critical Race Theory Repackaged
​
​
Diversity
When used by academic leaders, refers to the presence of non-white, non-able-bodied, non-heterosexual males/females in the school population. This separates the students into groups and classes for the purpose of special treatment that ultimately leads to discrimination and division.
Division
Equity
While traditionally understood to mean fairness or equal opportunity regardless of age, gender, race etc., this word is now used by activists to mean equal outcome. FCS wants to remove "systemic" barriers and enable the full participation of students based on their personal beliefs and identities. Examples: Boys who identifying as girls will be allowed in girls bathrooms and on girls sports teams.
Exclusion
Inclusion
Incorporating, accommodating, and elevating ever-growing members of favored/protected races, classes (LGBTQ+), or anyone labeled as “oppressed” within the student body. FCS will lead the students to celebrate diversity including sexual orientation and gender identity. Civil, religious, and/or personal rights of all other students are disregarded.
Indoctrination

Can this really be happening in Forsyth County? YES
FCSS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Impact Statement
To achieve quality learning and superior performance for all, Forsyth County Schools will create a culture of belonging where differences, abilities and beliefs are respected and celebrated.
Beliefs such as gender choice will be respected and celebrated to fulfill equity. Transgender girls (boys) will be allowed in girls locker rooms, bathrooms, and sports teams.
This term is purposefully vague to encompass any and all beliefs, identities or behaviors of a student or teacher that are atypical of society.
100% acceptance of behaviors, identities, and beliefs within the school. Those who are “oppressed” or “marginalized” in the eyes of officials will be allowed to dress, speak, celebrate or behave as desired, often in ways that would ordinarily not be allowed, so that they feel safe, like they “belong.”
Students and staff must go beyond respect but also celebrate any behaviors or beliefs even if they disagree with them.
