[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is why I think soooo many of the white people in DC are racist AF.  THERE ARE NO WHITE KIDS AT BANNEKER.

You're curious about why I'm curious???  I'm interested because a few posters are lobbing criticism at people who don't know the details about how Banneker operates and what it's admissions situation is, so I decided to educate myself. Isn't that what people want - for posters to be educated about Banneker?

So now I know that Banneker used to assign seats based on a quota system to ensure adequate black representation. Another quote from Super Reed in that article was that DCPS was 97% black at the time, so the fear of having too many white students at Banneker was nonsensical. So now I'm curious whether any of you know whether Banneker still uses a quota system. I looked at Banneker's website, and it doesn't give much detail. Does anyone know the answer? [/quote]

So your research includes an article from 1998 and then you ask the people who actually know something about Banneker to tell you how admissions works now? Lazy.

It's actually laughable that you quoted an article from almost 20 years ago but couldn't, you know, just go to their website or Bannekers website on dcps to find out actual information. [/quote]
