[quote=Anonymous]Hey, Jeff, you obviously mean well, but you're wrong on the facts, at least with respect to your implication that black people and white people "dread diversity." Go back and take a look at the stats for Deal and Wilson. You think they are not "diverse," at least as a matter of race? Do you think in-boundary families begging for different programming at Hardy are afraid of diversity? No, man, not at all. Furthermore: most of DC -- OK, a lot of DC, if not most -- is either not segregated or becoming much less segregated as a matter of race. The problem is, as you rightly point out, that the SCHOOLS have segregated populations. That is a distinct issue from the neighborhoods themselves, which have changed a ton in the past 20 years, and are continuing to change. What we are grappling with is the failure of DCPS to create attractive schools, not with inherent race bias ingrained in the hearts of our city's citizens.[/quote]
