[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony of all these mean comments is that Mann in particular probably has the highest share of truly multilingual students of any DCPS or charter school…[/quote]

Sure Karen. So much diversity in Mann- a 66% white school. Definitely. Sure. [/quote]

PP is talking about multilingual students, you know, you can be white AND multilingual.[/quote]

The critical thinking skills at play here are impressive. Apparently multilingual = not white in this person’s mind. [/quote]

Oh you’re right. Because so so many white kids in ward 3 speak so many other languages. Sure!

Double down Karen.[/quote]

This may sound shocking to you, but Mann’s catchment area is full of diplomats (embassy/ world bank/ IMF) and these kids speak languages other than English at home. I looked at my DC’s class list and 13/18 kids in their class speak a language other than English at home (and several speak more than one). And yeah, last I checked, the children of Italian or Romanian or Polish diplomats are considered white. This, along with plenty of kids from South America, Asia, and maybe a third American-born, is the profile of Mann’s student body.  Stop calling me Karen. You are ignorant.[/quote]
