[quote=Anonymous]I'm the parent of 2 Sidwell grads and a current student -- all white males. All have dated girls who are African-American (as well as Asian-American). Similarly, my sons have male friends who are AA and who have dated white girls. I've nevery heard of any tension over this issue. Maybe it exists, but I've not heard about it over the past nearly 10 years that we've had kids in the high school. For parents of African-American boys who have concerns, I'd really urge you to speak to current parents and teachers. The admissions office should be able to put you in touch with these folks. Even if you have a young child, you can ask to speak to parents of upper school students and to administrators and teachers in the US. In particular, you might ask to speak with Michael Woods, the US Dean of Students, and with Hayes Davis, who teaches in the English department and has been the advisor to the BSU. [/quote]
