[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this is a great teaching moment for you and your child. If you take the time to learn about why students from these disadvantaged backgrounds need such a program, you can explain it to your kid. After all, people of color are forced to have very serious conversations with their kids about things like police brutality and racial profiling, so your kid will survive.

Please do some self-reflection because you may be passing down your unconscious (or conscious) prejudice to your child.[/quote]
It is a good opportunity to explain that my kids and the young scholars are not at fault here and that this segregation exists because misguided adults chose to separate children because of the color of their skin or the jobs some parents have. It’s a good lesson. [/quote]

So I can explain to my kid why 75% of his classmates at Mt. Vernon are Hispanic and Black. Because misguided adults vote for policy and decisions that keep them de facto segregated away from blending in with everyone else. Because of the color of their skin, others avoid going to school with them.[/quote]
