[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair students did an excellent journalistic piece on racism within Blair a few years ago. They had examples such as an AA kid found in the hallways was given a penalty while a white kid found in the hallway was simply asked to go back to class. The kids at Blair all see and know this. There is a term "white girl pass". The poster upstream talking about white kids being on one set of classes while AA/Latino kids are sitting in another is correct. They may get mixed for electives or classes that don't have different levels but its disturbing how separate things are there. Too many white parents think that if their kid has one POC or biracial friend that everything is integrated. There are small outliers but no one at Blair or anywhere else in Montgomery would argue that there isn't racial and economic segregation within the schools. The magnet may make it a little more stark but its not solely the magnet. The same thing goes on at Einstein etc. [/quote]

The photographs and videos posted of Blair classrooms paint a different picture than your anonymous anecdotes. If this were even remotely true the BOE would definitely love to hear about it, but without real evidence, it sounds a lot like fake news.[/quote]
