I don't understand your comment.  Do you think he's not qualified to attend those colleges?[/quote]

Also of course you knew he was a minority because the title says Banneker high school.[/quote]

I don't live in DC proper and have never heard of the high school.[/quote]

This forum is for discussion of DCPS and DC Public Charter schools. If you don't live in DC, I am not sure why this forum would be of interest to you. But, one thing of which I can assure you is that we are not interested in your racial prejudices. If you find the success of a student "sad" because that student is black, you probably need to find another forum. [/quote]

I live in the VA suburbs and never heard of the school. Sorry I'm not an expert on DC!

I never sad his accomplishments were sad I sad it's sad that they ONLY reason he makes headlines is because of his race.
FWIW I got into 4 Ivies and made no headlines.[/quote]

Well do tell PP, what was it about your 4 Ivy admits that was even faintly worthy of a news story?  What is unique or unusual or speaks to an overcoming of huge odds in your story?  Because, as much as the news does often suck in terms of coverage, there has to be SOME story there.

Most of us are totally clear on why this young man's story is worth celebrating.  Putting your racism and ignorance aside, what is it about your own college admittance story that you feel was so worthy of coverage?  [/quote]
