[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SWS has been majority white for 15 years (don't know what it was at its inception). As part of the cluster, black families self-selected to go to Peabody. The color of the students should not play a role in the discussion of proximity, nor should SWS be punished for its student body. There are not so many homes nearby that the entire school would be filled by proximity preference. There is Sherwood Rec and an elderly apartment building that would take up one fourth of this proximity area. Also a women's shelter.[/quote] I completely agree. Race should not even be brought up. And I find it disgusting and ignorant that people assign racism as a motive for people's opinions on this. Demographics in DC have changed. The children living in the city are increasing not African American. And there are many many exclusively African American elementary schools and I don't hear a peep about that being an outrage.
