[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]

I'm afraid that is never going to happen since there are human instincts involved that can never be completely neutralized. Few people will ever manage to be fully color blind. But certainly nothing is going to change for the better if make such questions taboo and vilify those who ask them as racists.

I think OP posted in good faith, and I hope her thread is going to encourage more people to give their neighborhood schools a try.[/quote

Nothing will change if we act as if 2016 is 1816.

It aint.][/quote]
