[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,
My answer will be unpopular, but having grown up in DC and attended catholic schools here, I feel I have a handle on why white families don't attend primarily black schools. It's racism, pure and simple. You will hear various excuses..."I don't want my kid to be the lonely only", "it's a bad school with thugs", "SAT scores are too low", "it's too far for me to travel", etc...UMC African Americans have been lonely onlies and traveled far and wide for schools for decades and it hasn't stopped us. This fear of black people has to stop. We are humans.[/quote]

+1 The same is true of neighborhood public schools, by the way. The data shows that charters maintain and deepen educational segregation, and part of that is because they give white parents an "out" from their local school. [/quote]

It's not racism when UMC black families do not send their kids to neighborhood public schools, though.  Then it's because of SAT scores or thugs or whatever.[/quote]
