[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]White affluent parents do a lot of things that exacerbate racial inequities--moving to segregated neighborhoods, choosing schools w/larger white populations, redshirting, pandemic pods, etc., all in the name of "doing what's best for my kids."  I hope with more recent scholarship on these issues (opportunity hoarding, etc.), this leads to some reflection.  [/quote]

again, are you willing to enroll your child in a high school where literally every single kid has failed the math PARCC? I’m not. The racism here is whatever is causing that failure, not white parents chosing not to enroll. [/quote]

oh and cute of you to throw in “pandemic pods.” so the anti-racist thing is to close schools for 2 years and let kids struggle. Ok. [/quote]

Have you paused to think about why you are so defensive?[/quote]

because you’re making absurd claims while ignoring the actual racism? have you stopped to think why you are more invested in proving white parents’ individual choices are racist as opposed to addressing the actual institutions failing black kids?[/quote]
