[quote=Anonymous]I attended a meeting in June about diversity in MCPS, where a black Whitman parent presented the situation very powerfully. The (white) Principal also spoke, and he seemed motivated and engaged, as were the central admin representatives (all black). Apparently they are implementing a series of trainings and meetings for the various stakeholders (students, staff, parents) over the course of this coming school year, which they hope will turn the atmosphere around. I wish them well, but the weakest link here are the (non-black) parents who think that all this does not apply to them because "they are not racist". If everyone doesn't engage in the conversation about what's appropriate behavior and what's not, someone will end up doing something stupid once again. The easiest people to reach is the choir. It's the hard=to-reach folk who need the most training. [/quote]
