OAK PARK, Ill. – Segregation lives at Oak Park and River Forest High School.

The Chicagoland school held a “Black Lives Matter” assembly, but only black students were invited to participate.

White parents were upset after their children were “turned away” from the event commemorating Black History Month. They say they were offended because the school reportedly prides itself on being diverse and inclusive.

“(Some) students and parents expressed confusion and concern about the event being for black students only,” a press release distributed after the event by the school states.

“Information about the event lacked clarity about this aspect of the conversation, and the high school is committed to improving communications in the future.”

The Chicago Tribune reports as of last year, “the school’s student population was 55 percent white, 27 percent black, 9 percent Hispanic, 6 percent multiracial and 3 percent Asian.”

Ironically, the theme of the school’s five-year strategic plan is “racial equity.”

The school was implementing a strategy known as “affinity grouping” as a means for black students to “express themselves fully and safely.”

“In order for us to move forward, I believe the affinity group is the safe way for us to move forward in a safe environment,” Principal Nathaniel Rouse tells the paper.

Rouse hopes to create similar segregated affinity groups for white, Latino and Asian students.

This method appears to come out of anti-“white privilege” training.

Last year, an investigation of the White Privilege Conference by EAGnews and Progressives Today found similar grouping purely by skin color.

During another part of the conference, attendees attended meetings strictly based on the color of their skin and were asked to leave if they were in the wrong room. A discussion ensued between the investigator and a so-called “White ally.”

“White people do not experience racism,” she told the investigator.

“White people can experience discrimination, but not racism.”

“Would you define discrimination as something intrinsically bad?” the investigator asked. “No, I don’t think anything is intrinsically bad. As a sociologist, I think context means everything.” “Rape isn’t intrinsically bad?” the investigator responded.

“It is not,” the White ally said.
