An example, perhaps, of the integrated classrooms that we're to believe are commonplace at Blair and in Takoma schools? No this is fairly typical of the "diversity" folks in Takoma are peddling.

So what if the parade route is diverse. That says nothing about the classrooms, where I still maintain you'll find a classroom of 90 percent white kids right next to one that's nearly 100 percent black and hispanic. (See above.)

Sure, the overall diversity numbers look great. Just drill down at the classroom level, though. Take a stroll along Maple, Willow -- or most any block that doesn't border the Maple Avenue apartments or head toward Langley Park.

With the exception of a small handful of interracial couples, as white as the driven snow. And with very, very few exceptions, these neighborhoods are 100 percent black and brown.

Yes indeed, back where I come from, we call that segregation.

This is a clip from Blair HS - which encompasses Silver Spring plus TP. It's not a class at TPMS, as you seem to realize yourself, given your cagey way of phrasing this as a question not a fact.

And yes, why yes, I have walked through downtown TP, and I have seen diversity there. Funny you should advise us to go anywhere but Maple or Langley Park though, because it's obvious these areas would undermine your silly point.

But never say we're unfriendly here in MoCo! We've created a place just for posters like you: www.dcurbanmom.com/forum/posts/list/249493.page . In fact, if you look at the very first post, are you by any chance #4 on the list?[/quote]
