Concerning, “Pause and beware of ‘separate but equal’” in The Day, (July 5). As a white anti-racist and retired East Lyme High School guidance counselor, I wholeheartedly support the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plan accepted by the East Lyme Board of Education and superintendent.
As Matthew Borelli writes in his op-ed, multiculturalism should be the end game of the plan, and having a single member of each racial cohort will not truly represent the cohort. Whether East Lyme is “exclusive” in offering equal opportunity and equal treatment is not in question; the question is in what ways is the school system exclusive and how should these ways be addressed.
