 News flash, black parents want academic rigor and high expectations and better options for their kids. [/quote]

Haven't you heard? In the new era of the woke-police, white people need to assume that all black children come from single family households (or foster care) and are incapable of advancing academically beyond wherever they are in school right now. To assume black kids (like all kids) can do better and push black kids and demand more from them (as white people and teachers would with all other kids) is apparently now racist. Oh, and black kids who are morbidly obese in ES need to be praised for their "curves" and their parents similarly praised for loving them enough to feed them food that causes diabetes and other major health concerns.

It is no wonder that the families of top performing black kids flee DCPS and HRCS before our kids internalize these limiting messages about their capabilities and worth.     [/quote]

No, people need to assume that packing a child's lunch, or choosing food that is in a child's lunch is a parental responsibility, and that telling a child that their parent did a poor job of something, and to go back and tell their parent to do it differently is offensive.

I don’t think anyone said she needs to do it differently, or he needs to do it differently, but I do think kids should be aware of unhealthy choices. Do you think kids should not be aware of unhealthy choices?  Much more helpful might be providing the child, and all kids in the class, with information about low-cost nutritious foods. But, I dream, I know.

NP. 
How, specifically, do you propose that a white volunteer lunch lady tell a black child at lunch that the lunch that her mother packed for her is an “unhealthy” choice? And please also explain just how the white volunteer lunch lady delivers the message that it is so impactful that the child suddenly becomes “aware of unhealthy choices” such that the child changes not just her own, but her mother’s behavior.

Please be specific. [/quote]
