The following email was sent by the GHAPS Director of Instructional Services to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) representatives at Grand Valley State University. Mary Jane lists the efforts GHAPS has been taking in regards to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging and requests access to GVSU DEI resources.
My first thought when reading this email is, wouldn’t it have been nice if the Director of Instructional Services had sent this email to parents when they began asking about DEI in the district, as well as the DEIB Committee? Parents have been very interested in this type of information, but GHAPS leaders have been purposely elusive on these topics. Regardless, through diligent investigative work, concerned parents have uncovered information on the vast majority of bulleted items listed by Mary Jane; despite the lack of GHAPS transparency.
If you have been following the Restore Ottawa website, you should now have a good understanding of the Marxist programs the GHAPS district has implemented under the guise of DEI. You should understand how they are entering the district, through which channels, and how our teachers and children are being immersed in it. This email reeks of activism and to see this list of initiatives spelled out by district leadership is shocking.
