[quote=Anonymous]I'm Caucasian and the website has never bothered me. However, I think the point is that it clearly DOES bother some people, particularly African Americans that theoretically a school like CM should be trying to attract, given the current demographics. A few months ago, there was a thread on this very topic, and people said they would point it out to the administration. It doesn't seem to me like it would be hard to get permission from current parents to use some pictures on the website or to get some new stock photos. They could even get some free ones from Flickr through the Creative Commons license. I don't go to CM and understand in talking to friends who do go there that the administration is small and busy; however, I can also see how some people would interpret this as a sign that their concerns are not being addressed, particularly in light of comments from people that they have heard that African Americans are not comfortable there. (I say this only because I have heard these complaints on DCUM.) [/quote]
