The only people who go to these terrible schools in DC are:
1. People who don't care about school and 2. People who care about school but have no better option If people have better options, they take them and that is true of everyone. |
Thanks for missing the point. God, I'm so sick of white fragility and your egos! |
White Fragility = Different opinion than yours |
I was the plus 1 and I’m not white and as an outsider I see how white people just can’t win. Jmo |
This is just bizarre. Most of the schools in DC are very bad. Some are HILARIOUSLY bad. Most of the schools in UNW are quite good. So what is hypocritical about wanting your kids to go to a good school? |
People think that good means white. And if you mention test scores you’re racist and if you mention criminal behavior you’re really racist |
|
So let's see
Ad hominem against critical author CHECK Racism discussion ensues CHECK Defending housing segregation CHECK Supporting educational separation CHECK Insinuations about testing and criminality CHECK Saying white people can't win CHECK Sigh |
The Washington Post had a very sad story about how even the valedictorians of bad high schools in DC struggled in college. "Collier, the 2011 valedictorian at Ballou Senior High in Southeast Washington, said the first thing she noticed when she arrived at Penn State University was how intently her fellow students paid attention during class. “It was like, ‘Wow, everyone’s on the same page and everyone wants to learn,’ ” Collier said. “At Ballou, it wasn’t like that at all. I was always trying to get the students quiet.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/graduates-from-low-performing-dc-schools-face-tough-college-road/2013/06/16/e4c769a0-d49a-11e2-a73e-826d299ff459_story.html |
Talk about fragility. I'm sorry everyone is tearing apart this poorly made argument, but that's what happens when people say dumb things. |
Can you just say which school? LAMB or DCB? |

| I have become, and I hate to admit it, increasingly hostile to woke politics. Not because I don’t believe in racist equality, but because so many obnoxious fux are trying to shove half baked policies down my throat. Cancelling AP classes, cancelling entrance exams for rigorous schools, the shame based approach to race (“be less white!”), the increase in false accusations of racism at every turn (recent Smith college incident), claiming that “show your math work” is racist...I guess you would immediately tar me with claims of white fragility. That’s fine. |
+1. It just comes to a point when nothing is ever their own fault, and racism is to blame for everything, and you all privileged people should just hand over your taxes and donation checks and shut up and suck it up. It gets really old. |
| A larger issue without even mentioning Mr. Floyd is these parents move into the neighborhoods not to attend the schools. |
