[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this is a great teaching moment for you and your child. If you take the time to learn about why students from these disadvantaged backgrounds need such a program, you can explain it to your kid. After all, people of color are forced to have very serious conversations with their kids about things like police brutality and racial profiling, so your kid will survive.

Please do some self-reflection because you may be passing down your unconscious (or conscious) prejudice to your child.[/quote]
It is a good opportunity to explain that my kids and the young scholars are not at fault here and that this segregation exists because misguided adults chose to separate children because of the color of their skin or the jobs some parents have. It’s a good lesson. [/quote]

:roll:  :roll: PP, I think a lot of FCPS's "equity" language is nonsense, but your post is ridiculous.  Do you also want your child without disabilities to have an IEP?  Frankly, if this is even on your radar as a problem, you live a privileged life.  Move along.[/quote]
It's pretty simple. This program admits based on the color of a kids skin... to support kids who may be disadvantaged because of the color of their skin? Why not just have a program like this for everyone to be encouraged achieve their best? Everyone can gain something from this kind of program. [/quote]
I talked about kid who was admitted previously. She’s white. Not low SES. But she is 2e.  Stop spreading lies PP.[/quote]

[b]My child is also in Young Scholars. White. High SES, but 2e. It’s not about skin color.[[/b]/quote]

Of course they have to have some white kids or it would really "look bad". 2E and low ses allows this program to appear discrimination-free.[/quote]
