[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reasons being many see the school on Saturday in full regalia and have this false sense of the school ambiance.  Thinking that there's diversity in the school at an acceptable rate.  Currently, Eastern's population is predominantly AA with one white, one other and two Asians.  By no means am I a stating that all is not well with that mixture.  But I have seen too many disappointed parents who attend subsequent meetings and notice the true demographics.  Then they feel there's a feeling being fooled.[/quote]

You need to recognize that many parents around you, for example those whose children are either the only or one among few white children in a school or classroom, have learned to look beyond appearances. Yes, I want a piece of Eastern but not because of some weird plan to divide and conquer (divide what? conquer what?) but because my tax dollars helped pay for it. And it's completely legitimate and a good idea that everybody walk in and out of there longing to see all their teenage children thrive in an environment that is bright, well maintained, conveys historic importance, brings a community together, and takes students seriously. Gone shall be the days that schools feature thick blue metal doors leaving it to the timid observer to guess which one might respond if a well hidden button is pressed.[/quote]
