[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AA parents here.  My DS went to Beauvoir.  I wouldn't say any of this until he was gone from there.  A couple parents made my DS and myself very uncomfortable.  Society types who were always looking to call-out DS and keep their DS away from him and the other AA boys.  I never let on to DS that this was an issue, but I was always on pins-and-needles for him there.[/quote]

You are extremely selfish if, knowing your DS was so uncomfortable, you let him stay on over there. You should have done what was in his interest, taking him to a more acceptable school (and many have the great education that B is supposed to), rather than keep him there all so that you could tout he went there! Unbelievable[/quote]

Not PP, but why is that selfish?  You have a child at a school for the education, not the other parents.  If the institution and teachers didn't call out her DS, why should the PP move her child?  Doesn't that just make the problem worse?  B becomes less diverse, and the ignorant children and parents have even more unfounded stereotypes? PP said her son didn't realize it was an issue.  Therefore, he was not damaged.  Shame on you for even suggesting that the poster did anything wrong!  It's the kids' and other parents' problem, not the poster's or her son's.[/quote]
