[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming this is real, I would seriously consider Catholic school. I have friends with kids at St Thomas Moore and they're very happy there. We're at a different Catholic school outside the beltway, and I couldn't imagine such things being tolerated there. [/quote] I wouldn't do this. There are very few Black kids in Catholic school and catholic religion in general is looked at with suspicion. You aren't doing her any favors there. I wouldn't care how big the house or how long you saved. You are living among aggressive racists who are doing real harm to your child. Is the house worth it? You need to get her out of the school by whatever means necessary and engage the black parent/his family to correct this immediately. This child is heading down a lifelong path of self hatred. [/quote] Oh the irony! In a thread about prejudice!!![/quote] DP. Save your righteous indignation. The Catholic schools in Arlington simply aren't very diverse, no better than schools like Discovery and Tuckahoe. Take a look at the photos on the websites you'll see the token "diversity" photo where they've collected all of the minorities kids in one shot, and then all of the candids are all white kids. If OP's daughter is having self-image problems stemming in part from not being around more kids who look like her, Catholic school isn't going to help with that.[/quote]
