[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is hard when YY doesn't try hard. Where’s the outreach? My family frequents venues popular with area E. Asians (certain supermarkets, dim sum places, cultural centers, heritage language schools), as well as reads Chinese newspapers and watches ethnic TV geared to local consumption. YY has little or no presence where the Chinese are. And, yes, [b]having a black principal [/b]who doesn’t speak Chinese well certainly doesn't help. Argue that we know "nil" about the school, fine, but we know our culture well enough to get that the make-up of the administration transmits a clear message "school unwilling to meet Chinese community halfway.” The arrangement [b]wouldn’t be objectionable if public monies weren’t behind charters[/b]. We aren't involved enough to "hate" YY. [/quote] Wait, you think that the use of public funds [i]mandates [/i]the use of racial prejudice when making hiring decisions? (In case you really believe this: it doesn't. In fact, the opposite is true.) [/quote]
