The email also said that it is \u201cvery necessary to have space for our families to discuss and process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The email provided two separate links for Zoom meetings: One for parents \u201cof color\u201d and the other for white parents, the Federalist reported.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the email, the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) sent a letter to Madison Metropolitan School District Superintendent Carlton Jenkins about the harms of segregation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRacial segregation is never beneficial or benign. It is our hope that the leadership at MMSD take this opportunity to commit the school district to the principle of equality and end all racial segregation immediately,\u201d Dan Lennington, WILL deputy counsel, told the Federalist.<\/p>\n<p>Following the letter, West High School Principal Karen Boran issued <a href=\"https:\/\/madison.com\/wsj\/news\/local\/education\/local_schools\/west-high-school-principal-apologizes-for-email-scheduling-racially-segregated-meetings\/article_a3d366a2-5aaf-5a18-89f8-08b1171855a1.html\">an apology<\/a> of sorts, telling the Wisconsin State Journal the email \u201cdid not convey our intention in a manner that supports our core values\u201d and adding that the \u201cwording in the communication we sent lacked clarity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The outlet reported that Boran said the school\u2019s intention was to provide Madison West parents the ability to join \u201caffinity spaces\u201d to discuss police brutality against non-white people. Boran told the outlet that the spaces were offered so that people with similar identities and backgrounds could openly discuss the topic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAffinity groups\u201d or \u201cspaces,\u201d as Boran called them, are the latest fad in so-called anti-racism trainings, segregating white people from people of color and providing different discussion topics based on race.<\/p>\n<p>As the Federalist reported, this is the second time Madison West has had to answer for segregating people by the color of their skin. Last summer, the school hosted \u201cvirtual discussion spaces\u201d for students and staff separated by skin color. The goal of these virtual discussions was to \u201cprocess the pain our community is feeling at this present moment\u201d and \u201cwork towards being an anti-racist community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again, the school provided separate links for Zoom meetings according to skin color. An email from the school obtained by WILL told students and staff to \u201cjoin the Zoom space where you most closely identify,\u201d which the law firm said alienated students who did not fit into such racial categories. At the time, WILL sent Boran a letter informing her that such segregation is illegal under federal law, but Boran didn\u2019t apologize for that incident.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/michigan-state-university-teaching-conference-includes-discussions-segregated-by-race-with-white-people-forced-to-accept-their-white-privilege\">reported<\/a> previously, affinity groups are the latest version of segregation. At Michigan State University, a teaching conference scrubbed an explanation of affinity groups from its website. The website previously said:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p><em>Affinity (or caucus) groups provide spaces for people to work within their own identity groups. To advance racial equity, there is work for white people and people of color to do separately and together. For white people, an affinity group provides time and space to work explicitly and intentionally on understanding white culture and white privilege and to increase one\u2019s critical analysis around these concepts. For people of color, a caucus is a place to work with peers to address the impact of racism, to interrupt experiences of internalized racism, and to create a space for healing and working for individual and collective liberation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There will be an affinity group for white folx [sic] and an affinity group for people of color. The focus of the affinity groups will align with the theme of our featured keynote speakers listed below. Each group will be led by trained facilitators to engage in dialogue utilizing a set of prompts.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
