Liar. If that were true they wouldn’t CHOOSE to come here.

Are you denying the fact that these schools are ran under the system of white supremacy?

Do you even understand what you are saying?

Do you think that the schools are teaching that whites are better than others? Because that is what you are saying with that statement.

That is not what that person is saying at all. BUT schools do teach largely about white accomplishments, teach white washed history and study after study shows that child of color are punished more frequently and more harshly than their white counterparts. So yeah school does perpetuate a system of white supremacy.

1. teach largely about white accomplishments,
Our Declaration of Independence was written by white men. Do you not think it is important that our children learn about this, our Constitution, and our government?
Do you think they should not learn about Abraham Lincoln, the President who wrote the Emancipation Proclamation?

We have a whole month dedicated to Black History. Every day, kids learn about the accomplishments of African Americans. It is interesting that Black History month (February) is the month that used to be dedicated to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. January is now dedicated to learning about Martin Luther King. So, I don't know how you can resent that.
Our country was largely founded by white Americans who came from Western Europe. That is called History--not supremacy.

What "white washed history" are you talking about? That has changed. If you don't think that recommending that a school be changed from Washington-Lee to Washington-Loving, indicates a change in behavior, you need to read the newspaper.

As for the children of color, yes, studies show that. But, there are lots of variables that can affect that. And, the schools are certainly working to change it.

And PP's post ^^^ proved to everyone on this thread that she/he too was taught under white supremacy. Thank you for this lesson.

Exactly.

DP. Those dead white guys were really pretty savvy. They came up with a good system. (I heard Fareed Zakaria praising them the other day.) However, my kids haven't learned about many white guys, so far, in K and 3rd. Community helpers, George Washington, Rosa Parks, MLK.

Have y'all moved on from the patriarchy to white supremacy?

Arabs are generally unconcerned with issues of social justice, and if they had to align themselves to one group in the U.S., that group would be white.

In FCPS, the three school pyramids with the highest number of elementary school students speaking Arabic are (if information from the 2015-16 school year still reflects the communities):

Glen Forest/Glasgow/Justice

Forest Edge/Hughes/South Lakes

Parklawn/Glasgow/Justice

Glen Forest is the school for the community in which the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church is located.
