[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is getting to be ridiculous. If you're white and send your kids to predominantly white schools, you're racist. If you're white and send your kids to "diverse" schools and then get involved in the PTA and care about your kids' education, you're racist. Is there anything white people can do that is NOT racist??[/quote]

Nope. You pretty much summed it up. [/quote]

Yep. Just ignore the crazies. It's sad they've taken over the Atlantic, but so be it.[/quote]

[b]Some are erroneously making this about white people. [/b] They are wrong.   But I think you can concede that PTA should serve all students.[/quote]

It is about white people! It's ATTACKING white people who are involved in PTAs, the horror! If we want integrated schools, how do you want white people to act? Don't we want them to be involved??

Of course they're going to be concerned primarily about their own kids' educations, that is human nature. But hopefully there will be discussion and they will understand that their kids' interests aren't the only ones involved. Like with the computer example. It's a legit question to raise whether it's good for kids to have more screen time. But once the educational objectives were explained, funds were raised to buy the computers and everyone was satisfied. What is wrong with how that went down? It all seemed pretty normal and expected to me.  Only true heartless bigots don't want PTAs to serve all students.[/quote]
