[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What do you want white parents to do? We're bad if we move to the suburbs, we're bad if we send our kids to private school, and now we're also bad if we send our kids to the neighborhood school and get involved in it.[/quote]

Don't forget that if you speak up on behalf of or take action to help brown and black students, you will be accused of having a white savior complex.[/quote]

Uhhh yea, especially if you don't even consult them. I'd be pissed too. [/quote]

Why did they need to consult them? The school is public and they initiated a new program that didn't cost them a dime. They are not barring any student from using it, so the students can take advantage of the new program (if they thing it would be an advantage) or not and move along like before. It was not like they were taking something away from them and replacing with the program the new parents wanted for their kids.

The school is public after all and it is supposed to serve all, including the newcomers who only enrolled there and saved the school from closure because they could initiate a new program that interested them

[b]If my kids school start a Mandarin language program I will say: "great!" but would not make my children participate and would not be unhappy that they were doing Mandarin instead of xxxx language. Unless of course, if the PTA allocated resources for it and took the $$$ from other things I consider a priority.

But the PTA or public money wasn't even involved in this.[/b]

I honestly don't see what these people did that was so wrong that they should be blasted on a national platform for being racist and horrible.

I still maintain that it was the principal's job to communicate the specific details of the new program to the original parent body. However, can we all agree that the school administration is not required to consult the PTA when making program changes that don't involve their funding or efforts?[/quote]
