A larger issue without even mentioning Mr. Floyd is these parents move into the neighborhoods not to attend the schools.

That’s fine.
+1. It just comes to a point when nothing is ever their own fault, and racism is to blame for everything, and you all privileged people should just hand over your taxes and donation checks and shut up and suck it up. It gets really old.

Thanks for missing the point. God, I'm so sick of white fragility and your egos!
And I am so sick of every person who judges every white person for creating the best environment that the can for their kids - neighborhood and schools.
Focus on improving the schools in your neighborhood.
I know not feeling sorry for yourself and the poor performing school you dumped your kids is tough - but deal.

Talk about fragility. I'm sorry everyone is tearing apart this poorly made argument, but that's what happens when people say dumb things.

This is just bizarre. Most of the schools in DC are very bad. Some are HILARIOUSLY bad. Most of the schools in UNW are quite good. So what is hypocritical about wanting your kids to go to a good school?
People think that good means white. And if you mention test scores you’re racist and if you mention criminal behavior you’re really racist
The Washington Post had a very sad story about how even the valedictorians of bad high schools in DC struggled in college.
"Collier, the 2011 valedictorian at Ballou Senior High in Southeast Washington, said the first thing she noticed when she arrived at Penn State University was how intently her fellow students paid attention during class.
“It was like, ‘Wow, everyone’s on the same page and everyone wants to learn,’ ” Collier said. “At Ballou, it wasn’t like that at all. I was always trying to get the students quiet.”

I was the plus 1 and I’m not white and as an outsider I see how white people just can’t win. Jmo

The only people who go to these terrible schools in DC are:
1. People who don't care about school
and
2. People who care about school but have no better option
If people have better options, they take them and that is true of everyone.
