[quote=Anonymous]Because there's not enough whites graduating from the middle schools at one time to make a significant number in the enrollment. If you're averaging only 100 incoming freshmen per year at Banneker...the ratio would be about to have over 100 whites apply to screen out 80% to attend. There's not 100 white students at one time in the 8th grade to make the selection process fair. It is not that they don't attend, they have figured out that the deck is stacked against them in the oddest way. Again, I remember the hoopla when Banneker was created, it was to help with the white flight but in actuality it just strengthen the black academia and its just dandy.[/quote]
