[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. Long PP Banneker poster. Glad to see I’m not on an island. Look, I get that it can be scary to be a first. But it’s done all the time. I get the sense that once a DC school gets to about 10% white, it seems ripe for gentrifying for white folk. They usually do this in an concerted, planned effort. (See CH schools and most recently Hardy middle school). Recent parents that have begun to gentrify Hardy are not your typical “racist”, sure. They wouldn’t even consider any DC schools if that were the case, yet alone one that is 80% black. But there is still something inherently racist about not considering one of the top schools in the country. Especially Banneker. I mean it’s not a Lean On Me type school. You’re DC is not going to be jumped for wearing the wrong colors. Seriously, why haven’t a group of 10-20 families joined together to commit to Banneker the same way they did to Hardy 5 years ago?[/quote] Does Banneker want that?[/quote]
