[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black people make up 12% of the US population. I personally wouldn't send my black children (I'm white) to a school that has less than 10% of black people. I'd like the school to reflect the country. Plus we are from NoVA where the black population is about 19%[/quote]

I'm the PP, I'm black and think you are misguided but you do you.  For what it's worth Harvard's black population is roughly 7% so I guess that would be out.[/quote]

Yes. It would. Not sure why that's hard to believe. My children's experience at college will affect their ability to learn. TJ is a very sought after (albeit hot button) HS in our area. My black child was accepted before the admissions changes. We declined due to lack of diversity. I didn't even want DS to apply but he wanted to see if he could get in. Representation is important so yes, Harvard would be out. We wouldn't apply to places like Harvard because they don't give merit and we don't qualify for financial aid so it's moot ,anyway. [/quote]
