[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not racist to want your child to not be the only child with a particular attribute (race, religion, etc). If your goal in life is for you not to be able to tell people that you are not racist because you are friends with black people and gay people and jewish people, not sending your kid to a 1% white school is fine.

If you want to be anti-racist, well, that does not cut it. To be anti-racist, you need to value the unique experience that your child would gain from being in a minority majority school.

Arguments about test scores and the learning environment are mostly bogus and can be offset by tutoring and engaging with your child at home.[/quote]

Arguments about learning environment can be offset by tutoring and teaching your child at home what they aren't learning at school. What?? What's the point of them going to school in the first place if it takes that much work to compensate for it? [/quote]

+1. As a full time working parent without loads of $$, I cannot pay for tutoring to offset what's missed during school every day every year, no.[/quote]
