[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dcum is not real life.  I wouldn’t let anything here impact your real world decisions.  [/quote]

The Instagram posts about racism in these schools are real though, and recent dcum discussions center on those posts. There are many lovely all-boys schools in the country. I’m not sure why the ones in dc seem particularly problematic on matters of race. [/quote]

I'd guess it's because we just know more about the local schools. I went to an all boys HS for two years and can attest that without the presence of girls, boys unleash their inner lord of the flies. The racism is probably just how it expresses here, since our community is diverse. Are these lovely all boys schools you mention overwhelming white already?[/quote]

Can't speak to the other schools mentioned in this thread, but St. Anselm's appears to have a real commitment to racial and economic diversity.  [/quote]

37% students of color at SAAS, actually pretty low for this area. So appears is probably the right word to use here. [/quote]

Please note that I said that school has a commitment to racial [b]and economic [/b]diversity.  I'll evaluate my assumptions on the question of racial diversity, but just looking at my son's class, the percentage is higher than 37.  [/quote]

DP: Interestingly, for a school not many people talk about around here, it is one of only four all boys schools ranked in the top 10 in the nation that gets an A rating for diversity.
