[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid takes the Wilson bus from Shepherd Park and I drive him more times then I care to admit. Yes, there are many AA kids from Shepherd Park that attend Wilson. Why is this a debate? [/quote]

Because people are tied to the narrative that there are no middle class black people attending Wilson.

Also, there are people who use the "not that many SP families go to Wilson" as an argument against rezoning the area to Wells and Coolidge. They say very few kids go to Wilson so it won't help with overcrowding. If there were a lot of SP families sending kids to Wilson, then it could further the argument to rezone the neighborhood.[/quote]

Sure there may be 20 kids a year (so 80 total form Wilson) from SP. If you remove OOB and SP kids from Wilson, the school becomes 85% overnight. I imagine that is the goal for most people that self segregate to AU Park etc. Funny because 15 years ago, it was the OOB brown kids that literally kept Deal and Wilson open. [/quote]

Self.segregate LOL. Would you prefer they gentrify?[/quote]
