[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think you missed the point about associations. All the school data from ACPS shows the majority of black and Latino students are struggling academically and there is a vast racial achievement gap. This does not mean every single black or Latino is doing poorly, but it does make you assume, based on odds, that any random black or Latino student you come across in ACPS is struggling. It's the same with witnessing crews of students from one race committing violence or being disciplined. Then you might assume any random black student wearing green shoes (or whatever indicates gang membership) is a member of a gang.

1. That's a hot take.  So are you saying we should racially profile people, then?  
2. Sorry, but I don't think your concerns about what your white kid will think of people of other races are really the prevailing concern here, in light of the larger issues that many other students at the school are facing.   [/quote]

No, I'm saying if ACPS can't stop violence due to social justice concerns then people should consider leaving for other schools that are diverse with none of these issues. I don't think progressives in Alexandria are capable of solving these problems as the only proposals I've seen have been "let's solve the underlying issues!" which hasn't been solved at any point in history.
