Brown is the superintendent of the Ithaca City School District. He recently retweeted pictures of fourth-graders learning the 13 principles of Black Lives Matter at school.<\/p>\n<p>Black Lives Matter\u2019s \u201c13 Guiding Principles\u201d call for queer and transgender affirmation and \u201crestorative justice,\u201d among other priorities. The guide calls for the dismantling of the \u201cpatriarchal practice\u201d of requiring mothers to parent their children while also participating in \u201cjustice work.\u201d The 13 principles guide also asks school districts to commit themselves to \u201cBlack Villages,\u201d which calls for the \u201cdisruption\u201d of the idea of the nuclear family and refers to children as communal children.<\/p>\n<p>Sherman is the associate executive director of the School Superintendent Association, which helped put on the equity training.<\/p>\n<p>The training was put on by an organization called Equity Leaders, which \u201cspecializes in engaging leaders in male-dominated industries to champion gender equity as well as broader diversity [and] inclusion.\u201d The training was given by males.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Equity Leaders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equityleaders.org\/services\">website<\/a>, a 60-minute session with the group costs $1,150, a 90-minute session costs $1,550, a 120-minute session costs $1,950, and a \u201chalf-day\u201d session costs $3,900. The organization also offers a $21,000 \u201cequity focused leadership program\u201d delivered over six months.<\/p>\n<p>Equity Leaders is among a slew of individuals and companies who have profited from the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion industry. These companies sell products and services to schools and institutions to help them become acceptably \u201canti-racist,\u201d while many are owned and operated by white people.<\/p>\n<p>A report by The Washington Free Beacon uncovered that the author of \u201cWhite Fragility,\u201d Robin DiAngelo, made over $2 million from her book on \u201canti-racism,\u201d and charged $30,000 for a 60-90 minute keynote speech.
