[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think mentorship by the well off kids is a great idea, although they should be a year or two older. A “big brother/sister” from the same grade might be a bit, ummm, awkward.[/quote]

This is a really tone deaf and terrible idea. I'm sure that you are well meaning but come on.

1. You are going to bus in wealthy white kids and then announce that they are there to be role models for the AA and hispanic youth. A few lucky URMS will get to bask in the presence of these special white people who will serve as their mentors. Yeah, this will go over really well.

2. You are going to excitedly tell the white parents that you are now shipping their kids off to ganglandia so those kids can teach the poor kids. Yeah, this will go over really well.

3. You are treating AA and hispanic kids as inferior and you are treating white kids as if they are resources for you to use.

Just stop. This is why the the label SJW has such negative connotations.  Dumb wealthy people meaning well but being clueless. [/quote]
