[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - what was the point of this thread? [/quote]

OP here. My original post was:

"I read the demographic thread, and there is a lot of concern about sending a white child to a school where it is likely that that child will be the only white child in their class/grade/school. What I didn't see on the other thread were posts from many people whose children had actually been the "only" in their class. I have done this, and I'm happy to answer questions about it, since there was concern."

My point was to answer questions about the experiences I've had and my child has had in her school. I know people (outside of this forum) who have reservations about sending their kids to neighborhood schools where there are not a lot of or any white kids. My point was to answer questions they may have.

I did not intend, but should have known that I would end up, getting into arguments with [b]racists framing racism as concern for children[/b]. That's just where things end up here, I guess.[/quote]

If we were being honest we should really just rename this entire forum DC Schools forum to "racists framing racism as concern for children"

OP, you're doing a great job and have much more patience for these comments than most. I am glad things are going well for your family and wish you all the best. [/quote]
