[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I exercise a lot of empathy, but I am not a doormat. Nor is my child. We need to discuss these issues. Discussing them is not making anyone an "exotic," it is the only way we will move on, the only we will actually move forward. I am horrified at how segregated education has become in this country, how complicit we all have become in making it so. But I have as little tolerance for parents who tell me that I am only making my child an exotic by sending her to school with theirs as I do for the white ones cowering in Chevy Chase, who sigh and say, "what can be done?"[/quote] White parent of reasonably means here -- I can comfortably say that I would feel like a total outsider in Chevy Chase. Not everyone is comfortable on race alone. There's culture too. I don't begrudge Chevy chase folks but I'm not one of them.[/quote]
