[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many posters on here are dismissing rational and deep concerns that the parents in the arts program are expressing. What you aren't hearing is that they value a more structured, English-proficiency based education for specific reasons. These are a different set of values and equally worthy. I'm cringing at the "white-splaining" going on here. Just for the record, I'm high-SES, married, educated and still find the inability of the DL proponents here tone-deaf.[/quote]

No. We are calling out her racism: “Norde, who is African American and a native Washingtonian, tied the increasing popularity of dual-language programs to the city becoming more white and Hispanic...”

White and Hispanic people like it, and that’s why it’s bad. [/quote]

You clearly have no f*cking clue what racism is.[/quote]

If the PP had said "racial prejudice" as opposed to "racism" it wouldn't have substantially changed the point though.  [/quote]
