[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are factual news stories about racism at Blair.  To call it Blair bashing is a disservice to the courageous kids who wrote those pieces.

As for the principal's comment "Blair principal Renay Johnson considers racial profiling to be a relatively small issue at Blair. "What most people don’t realize," she says, "is that we have 908 Hispanic students, 780 African-Americans, 647 whites and 544 Asians. It’s hard to profile when the minority are the majority.""

Sounds like Renay has her head in the sand.[/quote]

To be clear, I didn't call it Blair bashing.  I was hoping it didn't turn into Blair bashing, or that weird anti-Renay Johnson stuff that goes on.  I respect those kids.  My kid is one of them.[/quote]
What exactly happened to your kid?[/quote]

Sorry, I am being very unclear in my posts today!  What I meant was that my kid works on the newspaper and they all do courageous reporting -- looking at controversial topics and not shying away from them because they might embarrass MCPS, etc.  My kid has not been the subject of discrimination.

I do think one of the reaons Blair is so great is how balanced it is in terms of diversity.[/quote]
