This statement is totally incorrect, but I have to admit that the truth is not much better.  Current parent at Janney (2 kids).  Definitely lacks racial diversity (reflects the neighborhood) but I think the quality of the school is worth it.  We just make sure that our kids get lots of exposure to a diverse groups of kids.[/quote]

Well, if you want a quality school for your kids, it seems you have it.

If you want racial diversity, you can always visit a nearby prison.[/quote]

This is inappropriate.  However, this is pretty much exactly what the Post's Courtland Milloy -- who is know for being outspoken on race matters in DC -- wrote this morning, responding to those who have issues with a proposed high school for African American boys.

"But there is a precedent for having a public institution in the city that, on any given day, takes in only boys of color.  It's called the juvenile detention center."[/quote]

Facts speak for themselves.

I am all for improving things, but to do so you must start from reality, not from BS.[/quote]
