[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue that everyone is dancing around is class. It’s considered fine to be “diverse” so long as they aren’t poor. And we all know that DCUM is afraid of the poor students - who in DC are predominantly Black and Hispanic - coming from homes with anything less than white-collar jobs with highly educated parents. It’s terrifying. Washingtonians aren’t necessarily racists as much as elitist and classist. And in DC class is divided by class. We don’t have a large population of working poor whites. If we did, those students wouldn’t be wanted at the high performing schools either.[/quote] * And in DC class is divided by race.[/quote]
