[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think to some degree this is an issue of framing and language. People complain if a school is "too white" that it's not "diverse." But you never hear that complaint trotted out if a school is majority black or Hispanic. You hear a different sort of complaint, but there are some schools in DC that are close to 100% black and [b]no one wrings their hands about "diversity." [/b] So one reason people get their noses bent out of shape in these discussions is they feel attacked, as if having a child in a white-majority school is somehow an affront. In any case, all of this has more to do with housing policy than educational policy.[/quote] No, people wring their hands about segregation. Because it is segregation. It's bad for kids to be in high-poverty, segregated schools. Just ask the "you're sacrificing your child's education for PC 'diversity'" poster(s) on this thread.[/quote]
