[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, the diversity is not a nice bonus to white parents!  It's a legal obligation towards black kids.  There was a school district in Mississippi that was forced to consolidated high schools and jr highs due to having an all-white school.  So DCPS correctly and appropriately will be cautious about taking any measures that will result in the most academically advanced high school and jr high becoming all-white.  Obviously the current Justice Department is not likely to take action in this way, but it's a little nuts to think that DCPS will consciously take policy steps that will result in re-segregation.

I totally disagree with this.  Limiting the feeder rights of OOB students or revising the feeder patterns is not even close to "resegregation," and there's no way it would lead to Deal being "all white."  Deal would remain one of the most racially diverse schools in the city.  There is no way any of the proposals being considered leads to a federal lawsuit against DCPS.  [/quote]

We're talking about Wilson, not Deal.

Deal is only 63% IB. Take away those OOB, and it would look quite different demogaphically. As it is, Deal is 46% White, 30% Black, 13% Latino, 5% Asian and 5% multi-racial.
