Why is it that fcps offers IB program in Mount Vernon/Lewis/Justice/..., but not in McClean/Langley/Oakton/...?[/quote]

Because a lot of white people don’t like to send their kids to school with brown kids—no matter how liberal they think they are. Having an IB program not only serves the students in the school but attracts other people to the school who want the IB program vs AP. [/quote]

:roll: 
It’s not about “brown people” it’s about poor people. DD is at TJ; it’s at least half if not more “brown” (counting the many south Asian families as brown as they certainly have skin that matches that description) but obviously not something people are trying to avoid. It’s all about poverty levels not skin colors. [/quote]

I agree that it is a poverty issue but it is largely Black and Hispanic people who face food insecurity. Look at the student populations at the Title 1 schools in Fairfax.  [/quote]
