Now here's some "Zivilcourage" worth mentioning...

[concerned-parents_dsk @Concern_DSK]

"When those who have the power to name and to socially construct reality choose not to see you or hear you...when someone with the authority of a teacher, say, describes the world and you are not in it, there is a moment of psychic disequilibrium..."
~ Adrienne Rich

Now that more individuals are coming forward, I hope DSK will protect free speech and those with the courage to bring painful and hard-to-articulate information to light. Especially students need and deserve protection.

"The school principal should lead transformation with genuine conviction and managerial courage, [...] This role does not belong to an external consultant or some school committee, but is the key responsibility of the principal." ~ ISASA, 2018

“It is said that for every “Aha moment” that a white person experiences in regard to racism, a person of color has paid a tremendous emotional price. Yes, the lessons that we teach come at an extraordinarily high cost to us.” ~ Pocahontas Gertler

the child peeps through the windows of houses and into the hearts of mothers
the child who just wanted to play in the sun at Nyanga is everywhere

The inability to point with precision at the incidents of racism that you experience as a black student is not a delegitimization of the experience of racism or a negation of its debilitating effects on you.

3 days after pledging resources and counseling to those who suffered discrimination and trauma at DSK - what does DSK management do?
Enjoy their vacation.
Stop protecting perpetrators. Hold racists accountable. They need the counseling. We need justice.
