[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The wealthiest white neighborhoods. Schools with more immigrants from lower-income countries are way more socially conservative and have not grown up in politically-correct environments, whereas the rich and educated in the DC area are mostly liberal progressives who superficially embrace all differences and diversity.

My kids' middle and high schools in the Bethesda area (Montgomery County, MD) are super-pro-LGBTQ+, to the point where some families think it's too much: there are assigned readings with main characters who are LGBTQ+, assemblies where they invite professionals who are LGBTQ+, and after-school clubs for that group.

I don't find this information to be up-to-date. I work in schools all over the city, and many non-white, non-wealthy neighborhoods have vibrantly queer-affirming high schools. I'm thinking of Capital City PCS (charter, not public) and EL Haynes. Banneker, McKinley, and DCI too, which you may associate more with wealthy white families, but the first two I mentioned are Title I and majority Black and brown students and are great places for kids of all rainbow stripes.[/quote]
