[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I felt many emotions reading various comments.  None of them put a smile on my face.  I want to thank you for doing that.  Racism is alive and ugly.  Thank God for good people.[/quote]

Oh come on.  Living one block from LT, I adore my AA neighbors of many years (one of them gives my white kids most of their clothes, hand-me-downs from her well-dressed grandchildren) but won't send my children to the school for a host of reasons.  My neighborhood is highly diverse, but not LT.  My neighborhood is brimming with well-educated parents of various races, but not LT.  My neighborhood is friendly and welcoming, but not the LT principal.

Few of the parents I know from the Stanton Park playground are interested in the school.  Sure, a few gentrifiers stay for K and beyond, and the rest of us know that some good things are happening at the school, but not nearly enough for the overwhelming majority of high-SES IB parents after PreK4.

Race is rarely the burning issue on Capitol Hill. If it were, most of us would be elsewhere.
