[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many many years ago as a 23 year old, I went to visit Frederick and I literally had a man in the middle of the street say to me, "Go back to Japan," while his friends laughed.  Given the lack of diversity in FCPS schools, I'm not at a place where I'm comfortable sending my kids there. [/quote]

well, too bad you appear to live in the past, as you missed one of the BEST gay pride events in the city this past weekend

Nothing stays the same, but if you're going to base your experiences on your 23 yo self, then you don't want to hear this argument. [/quote]

NP. In the city of Frederick, there’s tolerance for diversity. However, outside of the city, there are a lot of solid pockets of suspicion and intolerance. My DD (AA/white biracial) and her boyfriend (white) had a very unpleasant weekend at multiple locations in Fredrick Co. neither are particularly liberal and her BF is military. That was just last month. Not “living in the past”. Other friends have had bad experiences for years, including teachers of color who left FCPS for MCPS because of entrenched racism in the schools.
