MCPS certainly doesn't discriminate.  Treats parents of all colors as if they don't matter.

Was there any discussion about the sexual abuse in MCPS at this meeting, or did they just pretend it doesn't happen?[/quote]

Then why such focus on Chinese as if rest of world does not exist.  [/quote]
Non Chinese person here... I don't feel this way at all.  But, I do realize that MCPS has a large Chinese and Hispanic population, and some of those parents aren't comfortable with speaking up in their broken English in front of lots of white people. They also may have specific interests that they want covered.  [b]Most of the MCPS forums to the public are attended by white parents, so I can understand why MCPS wouldn't necessarily need to have a separate forum for "white" parents.[/b]

I will say that I find a lot of their meetings to be useless. I went to the cluster meeting where the BOE attended, and where the meeting was supposed to be about this specific cluster, yet they couldn't provide any real data points or issues specific to the cluster. Waste of time. Never will go to one again.[/quote]

Umm, we are European American.  Let's not describe by color of skin.  We have not talked about  brown parents, or yellow parents, or black parents, etc.   I would like to see MCPS prove they are  not discriminatory and hold a session for European American parents.  I am of Irish and Swedish decent.  MCPS, throw out your political correctness and stop discriminating.[/quote]
