[quote=Anonymous]Well, they may have changed the name of "Young Men of Color" school to be more welcoming to all, but DCPS is quite clear that the Reign program is for "young women of color." Antoine Wilson's email about it today says, "The data shows that we need to support our young women of color in several ways. For example, Black female students have the lowest student satisfaction among all DCPS students at 77 percent, compared with 92 percent for white female students. Across all students in DC, 25 percent of female middle school students have had suicidal thoughts, compared to 15 percent of male middle school students, and 34 percent of high school female students in DC report feelings of sadness or hopelessness, compared to 20 percent of male high school students." Note that those statistics are about female vs male students, except for the one bout the DCPS survey. So white girls are excluded because they answered more positively. I would think that a racially-integrated program for girls would help foster a connection across between all girls. But, no. Racial segregation is alive and well in DC.[/quote]
