[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Track is a weird add to that list. It's a mix of Black and white kids. Cross country and crew, not so much. But track? Ineloquent, but the point was that band and track are the child's only exposure to those "diverse" friends[/quote] But what difference does that make? My stepkids go to a different school further out in the suburbs. They don't really have diverse friends through any of their classes or activities. [/quote] My kids experience diversity out in the burbs but the POC are viewed as equals who just look different. In ACPS, due to vast socioeconomic differences, your kids are segregated and generally only experience diversity in sports or witnessing discipline. It's not healthy as the human brain naturally makes associations so when your child sees black or Latino children engaged in brawls and being arrested, they are going to make permanent associations between those POC and violence, poverty, and lack of education.[/quote]
