[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am new to dc and I noticed the stark difference between the two types of segregation. Private schools are happy if they are racially diverse, but not so happy to be diverse in terms of socioeconomic  groups. If find this attitude a bit schizophrenic. [b]Do you think this is ok? [/quote][/b]

I don’t try to dictate how other people spend their money. So yeah, I think it is fine. They are private schools.

Now let’s talk about public schools, where as a taxpayer, I should have a say. Why aren’t you complaining about the rich vs the poor public schools? Look at any of the DC or close in suburbs. Let’s take Arlington. There is a stark difference between the wealthiest and poorest schools.[/quote]

Socioeconomic segregation is fine for private schools but it is only bad for public schools. It totally makes sense. [/quote]

So you aren’t actually concerned about this as a problem for society? You are just here to stir the pot? Got it.

You don’t care about wealth inequality and how to create a more just and equitable society. You care about debating private school parents who obviously (as evidenced by their actions) are not in the least bit concerned by this. Bad faith.[/quote]

Not really. Socioeconomic segregation is bad everywhere (in the same way as racial segregation) . Just find it surprising that people think private schools are off limits for socioeconomic segregation. [/quote]

People can buy what they want. Are you confusing us with a communist societyc[/quote]

Sure. Is it legal to have a school just for white people and reject people from other races? I don’t think so. So no, sometimes people cannot buy what they want (luckily). [/quote]
