[quote=Anonymous]I don't know anything about the former principal. However, I doubt if she was resentful of the new white IB parents as a poster suggested. Educated AAs are not resentful of, or intimidated by educated white people. However, we are sensitive to conversations that involve racial distinctions. I would bet that she was rattled by statements made by some of the parents who didn't view their comments as being elitist, and/or insulting, or even perhaps racist-- but they were. As a principal, you have to keep your cool even when someone is saying the most outrageous things about you and people who look like you. I suspect she had trouble masking her frustration and distaste and it just spilled over. What a tough situation. The new principal will find it equally difficult, but from the other side. That's why if LT is going to move forward, the people in its community are going to have to find some common ground of respect. That's your starting point.[/quote]
