[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a well known fact that most (not all, most) people that send their kids to private school are racist, whether they admit it to themselves or not. I just wish people would be honest with themselves about the fact that they only want the “right kind” of diversity- the diversity that is palatable to them. It’s the same people who put those yard signs preaching inclusivity who are the worst of the lot. I prefer people to be open about their racism.[/quote]

I don’t think this is correct actually. Maybe classist but not racist. They want their kids in school w families who raise their kids in similar ways. Race is not the issue[/quote]

As someone who used to work at these schools. This is kind of correct. Class is often a bigger issue than race, but race does come up regularly. [/quote]

Yep- POC, especially black folks, are often seen as charity cases, not much different than stray animals.[/quote]

I’m Black and that’s not the case at my children’s Big 3 school. There are several Black administrators, and even more faculty members.

It’s too bad the schools you’re acquainted with don’t offer the same environment.[/quote]
