[quote=Anonymous]The Takoma Park basher got me curious, so I did a little rudimentary research.  It seems she's completely off target.

Here are Flickr pictures of TPMS.  The classrooms look pretty diverse to me.  No indication of segregation.  http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=takoma%20park%20middle%20school

Oddly, pictures of classrooms from Blair High are harder to find.  Lots were from the science magnet program, where there seems to be a lot of diversity, albeit but not much of it AA, FWIW.  Someone else can look for one.

FWIW, here's a bunch of Blair students with Chris Cooley.

I'm sure that TPMS and Blair have their fair share of racial struggles, just like every other school in America.  But from my personal experience, and from what I see in these pictures, the Takoma Park basher is exaggerating severely.[/quote]
