[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel strongly about antiracist school integration -- intentionally choosing a school in which my white, middle class kid is not in the majority, choosing not to hoard opportunity by requesting to transfer to certain schools/get certain teachers/apply for special programs/get tested for gifted and talented, etc. It's been a journey to get to this point, after a few years of navigating the school lottery systems, boundary discussions, and ugly conversations about "good" and "bad" schools, but I finally feel like now our family is living our values.[/quote]

That seems strange. Being anti racist, who could be against that.

But why would you not apply for special programs for your kids? Or have them tested for gifted programs? That means their education won't be as good as it can be. That makes no sense, why would a parent do that to a child?[/quote]

They want to teach their white DS that they are not in his corner, that he is on his own, that his mother doesn't value him.  That will make the world a better place.  [/quote]
