[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Certainly there were programs he could participate in - because we could and did pay for them. My concern was that the free programs were largely excluding white boys so I can see why that would add to the anger of low-income whites who start to feel that the world is against them.[/quote]

Any program I've ever seen is for either kids of color, or kids eligible for FARMS, or both. Your concern for low income white boys is misplaced. [/quote]

The problem is that low-income whites congregate in very white, conservative, low tax areas where the political elite don't give two sh#ts about them. The wrap-around services and opportunities for a FARMS kid in DC or Arlington School District - regardless of ethnicity - is so much better than what a low income white kid will get in rural parts of southern VA, Tennessee, or Texas. Those families are more than welcome to move to the District, accept their neighbors, fit into our culture, and give their kids those opportunities. [/quote]
