[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went. It was not pretty. About 100 there, give or take. I’d say it was over half Asian and South Asian parents who attended. Then whites. About six or seven black parents. I couldn’t identify anyone who may be LatinX.

Several Asian parents said they absolutely did not want diversity, and an older white man said he didn’t either, because it would disrupt the “social cohesion” of students.  On white guy started mansplaining to the moderator how she should do her job.

[b]I can understand being concerned that your kid might have to go to a whole new school. But I absolutely do not understand the backlash against more diversity at your own school.[/b][/quote]

Two are interrelated.

I was present in meeting. It was mostly Asians, Indians and Whites. Few AA parents as well. I think parents are scared of losing house value and many have stretched to buy in certain schools. There is flip side as well. I know many parents  from Einstein are gung ho about getting slotted to WJ or Woodward to increase their house prices. [/quote]
