[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just White does not equate to diversity. I would love people other than white people to come to DC. [/quote]

Well, they aren’t, are they? Wonder if being overlooked or ignored has anything to do with that? Or wanting a functional public school system?

Hispanics and non-white Hispanics are, so I’m not sure what you mean by they aren’t coming. I am just from an area where there are whites, non-white hispanic people, Asian, black, middle eastern, etc.

And they are not overlooked. I’m not sure why it would be hard for you to get why most whites wouldn’t be the focus (in education) in a world where having light skin is a privilege.

Lol Who isn't overlooked? Agree that Hispanics are not overlooked but the rest  sure are. I was worried until I talked to a principal at a solid school, who said that mixed and asian kids out perform the rest.

That being said, why are only 'whites' associated with higher performing kids? I want advanced engaging programming too, for any color kid who is motivated by it.

I hear people when they say the selection process creates a biased system, but why is the solution that no one can have anything nice? Start in ward 8 if that makes everyone feel better. [/quote]
