[quote=Anonymous]I'd love perspectives on what to write to my son's elementary school principal, as he put out a call for class requests for next academic year (DS will be in 5th grade). I'm the parent who volunteers/donates and has never emailed the principal - I usually go with the flow, but my son asked me to say something. DS has noticed that, since redistricting two years ago, my son has been the only boy in his class who is not from our neighborhood (i.e., walkable). He feels that this has left him out of neighborhood kid parties/gatherings. For context, DS is white, and his school is 40% white, 30% black, 20% Hispanic, and generally, the black kids are bused in. There are 11 boys in DS's class, and he's the only white boy. There are 3 white girls. 75% of his class is black. The teacher and the teacher's aide are both white. How do I make my request about neighborhoods without sounding racist? Or am I being racist? Thanks for any insights! [/quote]
