[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember when I started to look at colleges and my parents told me that I had to go to a school with at cv last 10% Jewish population. I didn’t really understand it until I went to college (one with a large Jewish population) and was the first Jew that many people had met. The questions I was asked, the assumptions made, and the comments I heard made me sure of one thing- when I graduated I would always love in an area like I grew up. One where I was comfortable with my religion. So, yes, I picked my home based on the location of lots of synagogues but also so my children could grow up surrounded by people that share their same beliefs.  This is what redistricting is about for me. I want my white children who are minorities to be in a school with people like them. And I don’t want a far ride away from that.[/quote]

I had a very similar experience (also Jewish). Coming from an area that had a relatively large Jewish population, it was truly shocking that some people had never met a Jewish person. While I appreciate diversity, I also was compelled to live and raise my children in an area that had a substantial Jewish population. One where they would not be an anomaly. I'm sure this is true for many other people of diverse backgrounds. My sister had a very similar experience.[/quote]
