This leads to greater empathy and understanding among students. [/quote]

I feel sorry for students in Japan, China and other countries with little racial diversity.    These students will never be able to learn empathy and understanding.[/quote]

Bad example.   I lived in Japan for a while and it was the most racist place I've ever been.[/quote]

Kids self-segregate, too.

There will be little to no mixing if this measure is enforced.[/quote]

Says someone who does not go to a racially diverse high school.   :roll:

Adults self segregate and teach their children to disrespect the  differences that they have little appreciation or understanding of.  PP's comment is a throw back to the ideas of the 1960s white flight fear during desegregation.

I was a product of the benefits of busing to achieve racial diversity in the 1970s. I knew students as friends, not because of the street they lived on or the color of their skin but because of their character and intellect.  My school did not have the racist comments that students at Churchill feel free to spout off to other students.

I hope PP is not a member of the Churchill community.  If he/she is,  the viewpoint would explain many of the serious problems in our community.  [/quote]

You’re crazy or naive, I too went to a diverse high school in the early 90s and we had so many people throwing around the N word, drawing swastikas and dicks everywhere they could and girls getting there their tops ripped off and asses smacked. Fights daily, drugs, drugs everywhere along with poor people acting rich and rich kids acting poor. Blair sucked then and it still kind of sucks

Lots of us survived but lots failed too. This utopia you speak of doesn’t exist, you were clearly a girl and oblivious.[/quote]

Yikes. Was your high school in MCPS?

Totally not my experience but I don't judge people based on zip code, income,  or skin color.  To say Churchill will end up as perverse as the high school you went to if the BOE changed it's boundaries to allow for greater diversity is craziness and racist.

MCPS has a student code of conduct that is designed to keep a school from becoming the travesty you have described.  [/quote]

Holy moly. That was quite the school.

Reminds me of the HS my grandma taught at in an inner city. No end to the cursing, pushing, stealing, lying. [/quote]

Or PP is a bigot and had trouble at Blair because of his own hangups with minorities and women.  He sounds kind of crazy because no MCPS high school has ever been that bad, including Blair.

Blair is a model magnet school that W school kids are trying to get in. A highly competitive program.  How would PP know anything about Blair now if he is part of the Churchill community? He is falsely stereotyping a school he knows nothing about. [/quote]

Blair envy has become a widesead epidemic among W parents.[/quote]

PP never identified himself as a parent.  Could be a MCPS staff member.  Heaven forbid that someone in MCPS has such biases against minorities and women.  I hope MCPS is checking the source of the post.[/quote]

The one thing this thread makes crystal clear is the lack of diversity at Churchill fosters an environment hostile to minorities.[/quote]

Students spoke up at the PTSA meeting in February and explained to Mrs. Heckert and Dr. Moran that the issue also stems from ignorant comments from staff members.  If PP above is a staff member who has warped biases against diversity,  imagine how that spills forth to the minorities and female students he interacts with.  [b]More needs to be done to protect students from discrimination at Winston Churchill High School.[/b] [/quote]
