[quote=Anonymous]Should the title read, why is it not a larger percentage of white kids at Banneker? I think Banneker was supposedly to be the alternative to SWW as many felt that Foggy Bottom would attract a certain demographic. Therefore, having Banneker directly across the street from a HBCU (Howard University) a partnership would form. Remember, Banneker was created after a heated discussion between the school board and Superintendent Reed. The Superintendent resigned abruptly in protest of support for such a school. We all know that a former Superintendent Ackerman wanted Banneker to be eliminated. Her main focus was that all high-schools should be about "strong and rigorous" academics and just an applicatoin only high school. Whites doen't know what they want for public education they just know what they don't want blacks to have in education. Think about it.[/quote]
