I'm so sick of this "positions of privilege" crap.  It's the people of privilege who continue to suppress the underprivileged by creating obstacles to better opportunities:  concentrate low income housing; segregate schools; housing by most convenient and efficient public transit too expensive for low income to afford to live nearby; etc etc etc

It's people of privilege putting on airs of sympathy and understanding and speaking on behalf of all poor people, putting their presumed needs and conveniences above the things that have been shown by decades of social science research to actually benefit poor people and using poor people as a shield of an excuse to not make changes and to keep things they way they are, the way the privileged like it and want it to stay.

Socioeconomically diverse schools result in higher achievement and longer-term economic growth and success for disadvantaged kids than segregated high poverty schools with all sorts of other additional "resources." Period. [b] Either people care about that or they don't.  Period.  Arlington doesn't.  Period.[/b][/quote]

Yes! That is the answer the the OP's question. Arlington doesn't care about it, so it won't happen. Period. [/quote]

Arlingtonians may care, but they care about other things more.  [/quote]
