[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also lol at the idea that MCPS is not racist. Clearly shows a lack of understanding of what racism is.[/quote]

Perhaps I live in a mcps bubble because we’ve had more black principals and vice principals than white, and many of the best teachers my kids have had are black (male and female).

If your school isn’t diverse (student body and admin), then nobody is forcing you to stay. If your school isn’t welcoming, then that speaks volumes about the people in your neighborhood.

MoCo is very diverse. Mcps is very diverse, and it remains a top public school system in the country. [/quote]

Yeah. You don't know what racism is if you think diversity means no racism.[/quote]

I’ve done anti-poverty/civil rights work in the Deep South. While no place is perfect because racism exists everywhere and everyone has some level of bias, mcps is nowhere near the bottom of the barrel. And, diversity most certainly does matter. Every been to New England where there are so few blacks people the local cvs doesn’t carry any black hair care products? Imagine what it’s like to be the one black family at the local elementary school.

Are you new to mcps by any chance?[/quote]

A. Get some training in anti racism and

B. Look at the data on racial segregation and student discipline in MCPS and talk to families about their experiences.
