[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]its not “desperately seeking racists and elitists” - its instead examining the gap between highly liberal progressive values and behavior. why, for example, is it that for a lot of people the number of higher income white kids becomes a proxy or measure used to determine school quality?[/quote] Because the school system is a mess and most of the UMC families in the system are white. Pesky UMC parents who cluster around DCPS provide critical inputs at home and via PTOs to help create high performing schools in DC. Remember, this is a city without formal GT programs or test in high schools either (now that Walls lacks any sort of admissions exam or standardized test score cut off). Things are different in other cities. Stuyvesant is only around 20% white yet it’s one of the county’s very best public high schools.[/quote]
