[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is kissing up to say hello to white strangers with little kids in tow when you pass them in the halls of your PUBLIC school bought and paid for by those same white stranger's tax dollars. [/quote]

OK, there are two problems with this:

1) I'm a white LT parent, and the principal has never been anything but courteous to me. I'm not saying she's the warmest person on the planet, but she's certainly never been rude.

2) If you're coming in with the attitude that your affluence (= tax dollars) entitles you to greater deference than a parent who is lower income (& might not pay taxes, or not as much), then I dn't blame the principal. I'd wouldn't have time for you, either.[/quote]

1) -- i was a potential white parent and she avoided the heck out of me. Rude? Slightly. Surprising? Very.

2) -- i am not affluent, not just by DCUM standards, but I am a DC tax payer and this isn't about the SES of the other parents. This is about the fact that she is a paid PUBLIC employee who avoids parts of the public, namely me and my school-aged child.[/quote]
