[quote=Anonymous]It would be awful if it were true, but it's not.

I'd challenge anyone out there to find a class at Basis that didn't have low-SES and AA kids in it.  The claim has absolutely zero merit to it.

People also made the same wild claims about Two Rivers, Yu Ying and many other charters as well, and they were investigated and likewise those claims were found to have zero merit.  It's nothing but anti-charter operatives making stuff up to try make trouble and sow doubt.  No doubt they will be doing the same with Sela, DCI and others once they spin up as well.

And the poster who made that claim clearly isn't any true advocate of civil rights, since she also made the suggestion that Basis should go private.  Go private and wall itself off?  What nonsense.  No true advocate of civil rights would be suggesting closing off access and taking educational opportunities away from the community - a true civil rights advocate would be welcoming the opportunity for kids to pursue schools like Basis.[/quote]
