[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how regular black folk never demand any of this diversity sh*t, but bear the brunt of resentment that this crap drums up. We all just need to die I’m so sick of it. [/quote]

This was my number one observation of the Miner community meeting w/the DME and the ensuing support for the cluster. Almost all white families, a lot of prek-k or not even in prek yet families and then alos a chunk of white families who opted out of Miner but live inbounds. Would love to know what the actual school community at Miner wants.    [/quote]

Why aren't black families showing up to these events? There are more of them than white families at Miner. Why are white families the only ones showing up?[/quote]

I don’t think that’s rocket science.

Most of the black kids in that boundary are at-risk, and at-risk kids are at-risk because of low SES households or lack of a household all together.

Don’t think this has much to do with race than it has to do with class and education. Parents more educated will be more invested in their kids education.

I’m sure if you control for SES, black parents are just as involved. DC still suffers from previous black UMC flight. Not many UMC black families on the hill unfortunately.
