[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its a fear of poor brown kids. Racism, mostly.[/quote] Do Banneker administrators arrange information sessions at DCPS and private schools that white kids attend? You cannot expect white kids to attend a school with no racial diversity without some serious outreach. Otherwise, they get the message that they are not welcome. [/quote] I'm a white parent who does not see it as the job of Banneker administrators to smooth the experience of high SES white kids and make them feel welcome (or geez, recruit them). I'd expect fair and impartial treatment of my white kids if they were admitted and, I admit, that such treatment might not FEEL fair because of the white privilege I'm accustomed to. But my family will definitely give Banneker a hard look when my kids are of age.[/quote] Yup. Same here. [/quote]
