Wow, they are really leaning into putting the most rigorous academic programs at White Wealthy schools..what a message to send. Damn.[/quote]

Look, I get your point but just a reminder that BCC is majority non white and 45% non white/Asian.  And there is a quarter of the population who can't afford school lunch.  There is a robust food pantry at BCC that was decimated when SNAP was cut off.  I get that it's not the same as the DCC, and I don't oppose moving academic programs to DCC schools, but please don't lose sight of the facts.  [/quote]

It's ok, the foundation has plenty of money to replenish the pantry and give gift cards to families.    Isn't that the point of a food pantry?  BCC has some lower income but not nearly as much as other schools, which is the point.  1/4 is very different than 1/2 or 3/4.[/quote]

Yeah, as I mentioned, not the same.  Replenishment came from the community, just as it does in the DCC community when the need is there (yeah, I know that too).  And yes, 1/4 is different from 47% (Einstein). Don't inflate numbers.

The foundation was not tapped to replenish the food pantry.  And it can be replicated at DCC schools too.  It is a nonprofit that can raise funds from the MC community just as others can.  [/quote]

Its very hard to raise money when parents down own businesses or have connections.[/quote]
