I could.  We are essentially saying the same thing.  Just an attempt on my part to stay objective.

Here, let's try this. This is a Mission Statement from Village Community School, Black substituted for Diversity words....
______________________________

Village Community School is strengthened and enriched by the blackness of our students, families, and staff. We are committed to cultivating intellectual, social, and emotional growth in a culturally black environment where black experiences and perspectives are essential to the rigorous education we provide.

We believe black culture is crucial to academic vitality. All students learn better in classrooms with racial as well as other forms of black culture. Our social studies-centered curriculum further advances this aim, immersing children in black perspectives different from their own—historically, culturally, economically—promoting empathy and respect.

Inside and outside the classroom, we encourage genuine conversation about black issues. We provide the supportive environment and tools needed to identify limiting beliefs, break through uncomfortable barriers, and affirm the identities of black members of our community.

We are an black-biased community committed to building a more equitable society through our actions. We develop leaders. Our students have the character and the courage to confront injustice and to advocate for themselves and others. They recognize their responsibility in shaping the world in which they live.
