[quote=Anonymous]The school was not built to attract whites or even produce a demographic of diversity for that matter.  You see that guinea pig experiment has failed miserably.  Because look at Banneker, Phelps, SWW, Ellington and McKinley all are applications schools and the white populations in those particular schools range from 0% to 8%.  Quite frankly there's not enough white students collectively in one upcoming graduating 8th grade class to make a significant impact for a 9th grade class.  Then there's the white "scare" of being the one and only at a school that's predominantly black.  Now hold onto your seats, they both were destined to attend Eastern High-school but Rhee decided to go into another direction and the scrambled began.  As a result Rhee gave all 9th graders primary choice of any school that they wanted to attend. I of course said let's do Banneker and they were accepted but when we visited McKinley it was the school they liked the most.  The engineering track started at 9th grade with a high-school interests in computer engineering.  As college students one is majoring in electrical engineering and the other is majoring aero-nautics engineering.  The FARM population is extremely high but that should not be a deterrent.[/quote]
