[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny enough there are several very vocal black families who are angry that our elementary school has gone from basically 100% black to around 75% black over the past 5-7 years.  They don't want white people coming to "their" school and they are not shy about it.  They don't want an integrated school.  They were happier with a less integrated neighborhood and a less integrated school.

This is a complex issue and its not just solved by UMC white families going to their neighborhood schools.  [/quote]

I'd guess that they wouldn't mind if there was a guarantee that it would remain majority black, or at least accessible to black families. Our school - which might be yours - has experienced the same trend. Today, the younger grades are majority white, the older grades majority black. In 5 years, I'd guess that the whole school will be majority white. [/quote]

Well, there still is the residency fraud issue to consider in your projection[/quote]
