[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banneker does not determine the admissions process as much as you think it does. Credit the mayor with wanting more students and easier admissions requirements.

Just because the school is majority Black doesn’t mean that all the Black kids are all the same. Nor are all the White, Hispanic, or Asian kids the same.

For the hundredth time, Banneker has sports teams.

As a fellow “white” reader of this blog, I encourage all of you to read White Fragility. I’m embarrassed.[/quote]

Not a white poster, I'm South Asian, and I'm embarrassed and horrified at this thread. I'm not surprised though. Honestly, if my kid didn't have a very specific interest that led them to Duke Ellington, Banneker was our family's choice.[/quote]

ooh how is Duke Ellington going? My DS is into journalism and media (like production and writing) and I hope to get him interested in arts production. But he has no interest in performing himself. I’m wondering if he would fit in?[/quote]
