[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You want a bunch of upper SES white people to stay so your schools looks like the schools that you decry. [/b]You want your cake and eat it too and you’re bitter others aren’t playing their part in your fantasy. They moved because that is where what they want is. You want what you want to come to you.

OP will never admit this, because it doesn't comport with her view of herself, but this is exactly right.  [/quote]

NP, and maybe.  Or, maybe us educated white people are sick of other educated white people panicking and not owning their anxiety around public education.  It's tiresome.  Our next door neighbors recently decamped for a wealthier school district, and we were really disappointed.  They're not white.  I don't want an all-white school, all-wealthy school.

We live in one of the school districts in MoCo regularly slammed on DCUM, and I've gotten plenty of negative feedback IRL from people when they find out where we live.  They're all white, they all claim to be liberal, etc.[/quote]
