[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't read any responses - only the original question - and my answer is absolutely not.

As I zip up my flameproof suit, I will say that I actually don't care one bit how diverse or non-diverse my child's school is.

I grew up in pretty much zero diversity.  There were no people of color at my high school that I can remember.  Literally, no black, no latino, no asian, nothing.  I didn't know anyone Jewish until I was out of college.

I don't think it scarred me.  I love learning about other backgrounds and cultures and did so as an adult, rather than as a child.

I married a person of color and we have mixed-race/ethnic children.  In their public elementary school, they were the diversity - it was overwhelmingly wealthy, white people.  [b]Fine with me.[/b]  Their schools now are more diverse as they have gotten older.

I want them to have the best education and would never dream of pulling them out of a school due to lack of diversity, or searching for schools based solely on that.
