[quote=Anonymous]I am a parent at the school of one of the AA boys in the Chinese Immersion class.  I am still very bothered by the DCC because no matter what anyone says this class sends a message to those AAs in the non immersion class - it also sends a message to the AAs class in the Chinese immersion class.  My son has definitely commented on the fact that some his black friends are now in a different class.  Do you honestly think that the children in that class don't realize it's all black?  What message is that sending to their self image?  On top of that - I know at least two black families - both with black sons - who left the school because their children were being placed in the class.  That means you would have even more black children in that class if families hadn't left.  Also children in the current 2nd grade class are being targeted right now to go into that class next year.  All of the ones I know of are black.

You can justify all you want with data but the reality is you are saying there was not one child of a different race who fit into that class - really?[/quote]
