[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an African American parent,  I find this post very troubling- the freak show aspect of it (come talk to me about what it is like to be surrounded by those black people) and the parents that are asking the most inane questions.  This anonymous board just allows people to do things they would never do in real life.[/quote]

+1. Yes, I agree. Am not black but the "freak show" aspect is troublesome. Starting from OP's post. [/quote]

+2.

Can we please once and for all stop filtering everything along the lines of skin color?[/quote]

Well that's kind of hypocritical since OP is one of the rare parents actually willing to buck the trend on the lines of skin color, yet now she somehow gets called out for it?  [/quote]

I agree. Whites, in general, are criticized for not thinking or talking about race. For various reasons, white families have opted out of sending their kids to schools that a high percentages of POC. OP is not one of those people. She wants to have an open discussion about it.

Yes, this discussion has racially insensitive elements. Thats okay. Honestly, trolls excluded, I think the only way to have a healthy conversation is to get all of stuff out.

FWIW, I'm AA.
