[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While Mr. Mendez sounds like a wonderful person -- naming the school "Mendez High" is only going to suggest that this is a school for Latino students... which in this area, at this time, means less affluent, more language learners. Sorry, but this isn't the kind of message that gets high achieving families excited about buying into a school zone. These are not good choices. [/quote] That's patently absurd. Affluent, high-achieving families would infer the school system is at least modestly progressive and embrace the name and school - certainly far more so than a school named after a Confederate soldier. You might want to look at the demographics at Rosa Parks Middle School in Montgomery County: 62% white, 12% Hispanic, 10% Asian, and 12% Black. According to your logic, the school would be almost all Black. [/quote]
