[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My white kids have attended/attend a DCPS high school and they are very aware when we visit a college that is overwhelmingly white. They understand that no college is going to be as diverse as DCPS but it matters to them to be around people of different backgrounds, experiences, etc. They don't want to just hang out with white kids who have gone to majority white suburban schools in the midwest who have never met anyone of another color.[/quote]
Considering the number of DCPS kids who go to Wisconsin each year, this view is definitely not universal. [/quote]

Wisconsin as in Madison?? its a super diverse university- not pre 1964 levels of racial integration. you can find those at certain schools but not flagship state universities, more likely available at Oberlin, Kenyon Juanita ... small schools that are uber liberal- those white kids have never met any "BIPOC" which is why they overcompensate and freak out about inconsequential non-issues that minority groups themselves dont care about due to having little to no actual exposure to any real life issues concerning minority groups.

Minority students dont exist in order give your kids an education or awareness of other cultures and help them become more worldly. The only ppl who should care about that stuff are kids of who belong to the specific cultures/religions so they know that they'll have access to food & fellowship (Hillel, MSA, Diwali celebrations) if and when the fancy strikes.  general education in elementary school should've given your white kids the knowledge that they'll need to navigate a diversity of lifestyles and if it didn't its not minority students responsibility to educate them.
