[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, hiring a well-qualified principal with parental input through the selection process established by DCPS does not send a bad message simply because that person happens to be whote. Also, any so-called tensions which may have existed at LT are not simply issue of race. You had a principal who, rightly or wrongly, was perceived by many as being unwelcoming, if not overtly hostile, to IB families. Yes, while it's true that most of these families were white gentrifiers, it's also true that she was more than willing to turn a blind eye to PG County address cheaters whose families still had roots in the community. In the end it's an issue of community and school culture. There is a serious problem when families don't support their neighborhood elementary school, which can have a domino effect post PK through at least middle school.. Finally, race is not synonymous with ethnicity.[/quote]
