"More than 90 percent of the students at Alhambra High are black, Latino or Asian."

That means that 90 per cent of the parents are lazy, stupid, and are too apathetic to have their kids get swimming lessons. Maybe THAT is why anglo kids are life guards?

The point is shame should be carried by the parents of kids who can't swim. Not the schools or swim teams... but the parents.

I know a very sweet elderly white woman who's parents didn't bother to teach her how to swim when she was a child - and to this day she's afraid of water. It wasn't very nice of her parents...adults can learn to swim but it's one of those things best learned when young. Like riding a bike... critical periods...

Most cities - mine included - offer free swimming lessons for low income children. It's a good idea. Problem is low income parents aren't bothering to bring their kids in to learn.

This issue has NOTHING to do with 'swim teams' at schools...or slavery or anything but parents not bothering.

It's tiresome listening to guilty white liberals treating blacks like they're retarded children who must be given an excuse and a pass for selfish choices... Really, there's nothing wrong with a culture having an expectation that parents meet minimum standards... not laws making people teach their kids to swim - just a small amount of social pressure.
