I think it’s a very important experience to have, to understand what being a “visible minority” is like. That goes in my plus column tbh. Bully for you, paragon of tolerance, bravery and fortitude that you are. We should all strive to live up to your shining example day by day.[/quote] Oh BS. There are many other ways to create the experience of being a "visible minority" without forcing it upon your child during middle school, which is probably the time kids are at their most dysregulated and cruelest. I have a close friend who lived this experience in DCPS in the 80s. Though she values classroom diversity, she would freely tell you that being a "lonely only" is not something she would ever do to her child.[/quote]
