[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Oh and sometimes it’s just below the surface of posts here. The overtly racist posts get deleted, but that leaves everything else—a lot of it is coded but it’s there.[/quote] I agree this is a problem. But I disagree that such coded language defines the forum. This is another flaw of the report. It does not recognize the diversity of DCUM posters. Diversity in thoughts and actions, not just race. Yes, we have racists. Find a city in America that doesn't. But, we have posters who work diligently to help improve their disadvantaged local schools. We have posters whose child has been the only member of their race in a school. We have posters who have worked for years to improve all DCPS schools. We have posters who are people of color who have been leaders in educational reform and who have made major contributions to improving local schools. [/quote]
