[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is one difference -- when white UMC parents opt out of diverse, integrated school and move to white enclaves, they exacerbate de facto segregation.

UMC black parents don't. They have many more, and different, considerations when trying to find the best school experience for their kids. It's not clear to me what the best option actually is...[/quote]

???? How about the professional adults in charge of those diverse, integrated schools do some out-of-the-box thinking and [b]make the their school someplace everyone is safe, valued and gets a good education---a[/b]sking UMC parents to stick around in unacceptable conditions in hopes that *they* might fix the school is folly.  There are rational and well-considered reasons other than racism that people leave a dysfunctional school/school system.[/quote]

That's exact what these threads are about. My kids attend one of these schools, a title 1 where kids actually are safe, valued and getting a good education. And i have seen many white parents pull their kids bc of, yes, racism. They can't see the true value of their school bc they are confused by the demographics.

This school now has a prek that is about half white. And guess what? Now the same exact school, with the same teachers and curriculum, is suddenly desirable and people arent talking about moving.

These decisions are absolutely about race and demographics.[/quote]

After 10 pages you have learned nothing and keep calling people racists, SMH.[/quote]
