I am Asian and my kids go to a very diverse school. The expectation from AA students and the education they get...is frankly, below standard, and parents are pretty complicit in tjis.  I cannot understand how they will succeed in life because there is very little going on in their lives that will help them in succeeding.[/quote]

So, maybe you don’t want her kids to be friends with the kids of this person.

OP is an AA who is posting on this board due to her deep interest in the education of her children, so this is an inappropriate response.[/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]

+2.  PP's post wasn't relevant to the OP at all.  It seems she just wanted to bash the black families at her kid's school, smh.[/quote]

+3 I have some specific warnings to AA families at our local school, but they are very specifically about being a Black American in a school where most of the Black kids identify strongly as African. Across the board, though, the Black families are involved and care deeply about their children's educations. [/quote]

This is also why Whitman is a horrible choice. This line of thinking is prevalent, who cares if a principal holds a conference about black face. How about being around people that never needed that conference. [/quote]

Hmm.  I'd rather be in a community where people are outraged about racial incidents like these (and people absolutely were at Whitman) than one where they are blase.  There is racism almost everywhere, unfortunately.   [/quote]

You misunderstood. Nobody is blase, they also don't need instruction on how to act and not act in a diverse community .... Whitman obviously needs multiple interventions. [/quote]
