[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the campus and the size, neither of my kids liked their tour, but I wished that they had.[/quote]

Same. Also, both of my kids said "why is everyone here white?" [/quote]

DE has a bizarre desgregation history. Joe talked a little about it in the debates before the pandemic-caught flack for it, but he wasn't wrong. There was a lot of white flight, then court ordered bussing between suburban schools and wilmington city schools.

Oddly, the schools in Elkton, MD (practically next door to Newark) were much more integrated without it being engineered. I went to ES and MS there. Granted, there were definitely still racial issues in the area because of the section 8 housing developments and such, but the schools didn't have the "everyone is so white" feel to them. That said, another town in the same county had long been known as the home of the KKK in MD.

Sorry, just adding a little info - carry on with your conversation about UD[/quote]
