While I am dismayed that my children are told explicitly in school that they may not use words that others may use, and that they should be condemned for actions that others with different skin should be excused for, it is difficult to see the parallels between the examples Ms Harris cites and what Brown was trying to fix.

Better to pick the BIPOC-only classes that have sprung up in public schools, the school-sponsored 'affinity groups' that welcome everyone but white people, 'grading for equity,' or the selective enforcement of rules. These may create only a very mild version of segregation's harms, but the real harm is in legitimizing unequal treatments by race, which leads us to unknown but likely much more unpleasant consequences.
