[quote=Anonymous]OP here. My family and friends are quite diverse actually. I don't have any high school aged children yet so I don't have to worry about this issue for a while. However I used to volunteer at Banneker and I think it's a fantastic school and I just don't get why many DCUMers think their children would be jumped by gang members if they went there. I was really impressed by the Banneker students they were very ambitious, smart and just seemed to be very wise beyond their years. I just don't understand the whole argument that there aren't enough good options and then exclude several great schools on the argument that they aren't white enough. I've been the only white person in a room. It was uncomfortable the first time but I got over it. And it occurs to me that for many minorities they don't have the option to always surround themselves with peopel of their own race, they venture out and have to be "the only" in a room far more often.[/quote]
