So there was a DC school approved in 2017 that's for blacks only? There are schools open in the city today that limit enrollment to blacks only? Outrageous! What are the names of these schools? This is not OK and I want to write the Post about this! |
This is the school OP was referring to. Before it opened as Ron Brown it was being called "Empowering Men of Color" and the ACLU was threatening a lawsuit. That lawsuit was never filed, and th school was named and opened. |
North Star Prep is the newly approved charter school - https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/local/education/dc-approves-new-charter-schools-most-seats-for-middle-grades/2017/05/24/e4e5e36e-3fe2-11e7-9869-bac8b446820a_story.html |
Thanks for this background, glad that wasnt the name. Has a non-black boy tried to enroll in this school and was denied? |
No clue. Only been open one year. The phrase young men of color is broader than just black. Also would cover Latinos, Asians and any multi-racial kids. And I don't think there is a screen ornprocess to weed out white kids. Any male student can enter through the MSDC lottery. |
Which schools are you referring to which include race as an admission factor? |
None use race explicitly. Ron Brown high school is a city wide high school you get into via the lottery. Same for the same sex charters. |
whoever started this thread is a racist shit-stirrer |
I hope this school is successful. I wonder how the first year has gone so far. |
Except that Asian and European girls aren't the entire focus of the school, nor are they allowed preferential admission (you moron). |
So... we're pro-segregation? Would that be in general, or only in this instance? How exactly do we enforce "It's okay for me, but not for thee" administratively and legally and ethically? |
^^ Then try to enroll your child, and if they are actually denied admission, file a lawsuit.
Venting on DCUM changes nothing. |
So y'all don't want too many black kids at your school but they can't have their own school either. Got it. |
HAHA. YES! Thank you for making sure these jerks understand exactly what they're saying. I hope the Ron Brown school is doing well. God knows that young men of color need all they help they can get in this world. |
