[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the article being bad.

The one question I have for everyone is if wealthy white parents don’t segregate then why is there such a low number of white kids at Banneker? In all my years of living in DC and reading DCUMs, this is the one school that supports the argument.[/quote]

Glad you brought this up. No doubt some students/families don’t apply to Banneker for various reasons rooted in systemic racism, overt racism, etc. but I do wonder (my kid is many, many years away from high school) if we applied would we be negatively impacting the school. I mean, this is a pretty great school that now serves mostly Black and brown students and if all of us white families started going there, we’d kind of destroy that culture, right? I’d hate to be the white family cashing in on the good thing Black and brown families built.  But I’d be curious what others thought. Maybe I’m over analyzing. [/quote]

It's racist to send your white kids to Banneker. It's also racist to not send your white kids to Banneker. It's even more racist if you don't have any kids to send to Banneker. [/quote]
