[quote=Anonymous]So there are three different perspectives and approaches here depending on which political group you associate with for educational policy issues .

1. Takoma Park white liberal - react emotionally to one anecdote, run over and burn down Whitman, do nothing to actually help minorities, scare the rich white people off into VA -pat yourself on the back for accomplishing nothing.

2. Centrist Dem/ Moderate Liberal Republican - Realize that Whitman is already established to support high performing students but needs more minority representation. Also realize that bussing poor and low performing minorities from far away into Whitman is going to leave them stranded on an island and not be popular with the minorities you are trying to bus in either. Instead expand the minority scholars program and offer COSAs into Whitman to any minorities who are scoring in the upper 90s and at a lower performing school. Increase minority representation without creating stereotypes that minorities underperform. Give the equity opportunity to minority students who have the capability and desire to take advantage of the opportunity.

3. Republican - do nothing. Change the conversation to vouchers for parochial schools. [/quote]
