[quote=Anonymous]I am astonished at the negativity on here! From everything I've seen, the founders are extraordinarily aware of the need for diversity and are working hard to achieve that. They're giving the city a new middle/high school option that was welcomed by the charter school board because of their excellent proposal that went into *great detail* about how they would address all the challenges they face, which they have thought about deeply.

This school doesn't even exist yet, but already people here on DCUM are predicting failure, and saying that the school will be opened up to "charges of hypocrisy" for daring to name their school after Sojourner Truth. Good Lord. What if the school is a great success? What if it's a racially and economically diverse new middle/high school that parents and students truly love? I personally am thrilled about the potential for this school and am grateful to the people who are working on it. Will it be perfect? Surely not--what is? But I think it is a good thing. It's a good thing to try. [/quote]
