[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might be horrible, but I'm a person of color who grew up poor, FARMs all the way. Without white and middle-class peers in school, I wouldn't have thought to go to college, or if I had gone, I probably wouldn't have graduated, no matter how strong the academics were. Without a diverse HS in my background, college and law school wouldn't have been on my horizon.

I earn 150K and live in a house in which I have at least 700K of equity. I want those boys to have what I have. Sadly, a racially and economically segregated environment in school probably won't put them on a path to prosperity, or integration into the larger society. Wish things were different. So please spare me your holier than thou bleeding heart diatribe. No, I don't like the set-up at the Ron Brown School for Boys.  [/quote]

So you won't be enrolling your kids at Ellington either?[/quote]

Dunbar?  Thi is such a dumb post, because without this school those kids may have dropped out and not be on the path for anywhere. This school is not for everyone, and clearly wouldn't be for you but it's one school in the whole system that their parent or families thought would work for them, nothing to do with you really...[/quote]
