[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PP’s point was presumably that the demographics at these schools are far removed from the district numbers. [/quote] D.C. demographics are 45% black, 37.5% white, 11.7% Hispanic, 4.7% Asian, 3.2% mixed, and 0.7% American Indian. Just about no school in this city matches the citywide demographics. Does Janney have too many mixed-race kids because the number is three times the city as a whole? Is Shepherd having a larger black population than the city as a whole a problem? It’s crazy that this even needs to be said, but going around the city saying “this school has too many kids of X race, we need to get rid of some of them so that the demographics match the city” is blatently racist. The fact that some people think this way just goes to show how far off the deep end some people have gotten.[/quote]
