[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NASA in DC offers internships w UMD. He is very interested in that. We love UMD but don't want DC to be solely focused on one school. 
And yes, our family is very diverse. That being said, my son has definitely felt discriminated against in some of his AP classes. That is what he bases his thoughts on. His classmates actually call him a stupid white football player. That offends our family.
He buys into what these super intelligent kids tell him constantly.. Yes it is ignorant, he's been listening to it for years.

Really confused about the white football player thing. Given the demographics of the country aren't the majority of high school football players white? Think Indiana, Ohio, etc. At our MCPS high school the majority of the football players are white, and are in the same AP classes as the soccer players, band members, etc. You need to expand his world view a bit because if he says something like this in an interview he may offend, or puzzle, the interviewer.
