[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never listen to what people on DCUM about any of the places East of Rock Creek Park.  Many people who post are racists (but don't consider themselves racist).  They consider all of Silver Spring or Takoma Park to be ghettos.  Don't listen to DCUM. [/quote]

In general, you are right. In specifics, though, there's an interesting discussion going on about how Takoma Park schools (which are whiter than a lot of other schools in the area) may or may not be serving the needs of poor kids and kids of color, assuming we can take test scores to mean anything. That's a conversation that matters whether you have a white kid or a kid of color, and whether your family is middle class or poor/working class.

Your comment is generally true of DCUM but not of this specific conversation at this point in time.

Takoma Park schools are 37% white!!  [/quote]

Some are much, much less. The middle school which doesn't even pull from the worst parts of TP is only 30%[/quote]

What are these "worst parts" of Takoma Park that don't go to the TP middle school?[/quote]
