[quote=Anonymous][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]

But that is exactly what MCPS is proposing to the whole county. When a large number of AA and Hispanics cluster up together they form a toxic environment that neither group can succeed in. So in order to rectify the situation they need the presence of white and Asians to detoxify the school environment. That is the exact message that studies after studies have shown. It’s sad that AA and Hispanics can’t seem to get it together enough to create a successful school. [/quote]
