[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have been in [b]majority black schools[/b], ES and HS. There have been minimal problems. I’m not sure what you fear about your kid being in the minority. I don’t know why you post this? Do you want us to come reassure you that you’re not racist? What do you think it’s like to be one of the few white kids? From my observation, it’s not like being the only minority because there is something broken in white culture.[/quote]

[b]OP said being one  of one or two kids[/b]. Is this your child's experience? I'd check in with them--there's lots to be concerned about, just like if your child were the only AA child in an all-other race school.[/quote]

There it is. Those two things are not the same thing. The woke mob is so quick to response and indict OP while they obliviate the line between "only" and "not majority". And they do it with that extreme judgement that freezes any possible discussion. I'm an extremely liberal voter and tend towards very liberal positions on public policy, but it infuriates me to watch people who are ostensibly on my team behave like MAGA voters and just blindly dismiss any position they don't like.[/quote]

I'm quoting this simply because they're all great points. [/quote]
