Diversity was important to Preston, but so was an environment where her son could learn.
No diversity is important when it is forced upon other parents.
Kind of like high taxes. It’s nice when someone else is paying them.
“Diversity was important to Preston, but so was an environment where her son could learn.”
It’s OK for the other rabble though. Another liberal hypocrite.
“A new report shows a shameful truth for our city: San Francisco’s schools are segregated.”
Horrors. In the confines of the fever swamps of far-leftism the schools are largely segregated. I thought this was supposed to happen only in the racist South.
Maybe even the white nut jobs of SF don’t want to see their kids get mugged in school? (Even though they don’t want to admit there’s a problem.)
For too long, the Indians have been segregated onto reservations. The compassionate thing to do is to integrate them into our big cities.
The reservations are just the white mans way of keeping the Indians down.
Free the Indians! Move them to Chicago!
Diversity is an attempt to deny the basic human instinct of being more comfortable around those similar to ourselves.
It’s just the way we are. No matter what color our skin is.
I’m betting if the writer has children those children are in private schools.
Segrigation isn’t voluntary. What is voluntary is freedom of association.
Take just blacks out of the equation and see how segregation minded parents are. Blacks are full of hate, anger and resentment. Period.
“Diversity” is a synthetic concept (like so many others) that has absolutely zero proof of efficacy or advantage.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..... no, REALLY??? Oh, that cracked me up in real life. I let out a bark of laughter that scared the cats.
“Diversity” is actually detrimental to most measurable aspects of success and a healthy, prosperous life.
“Diversity” usually means people with different value systems and different senses of right and wrong.
Therefore, it is hard to have community “capital” with people you don’t trust, and have to spend effort protecting yourself from those who would harm you.
Hah!
I have more news for the city of SF.
A few years back, my grand-daughter was attending Mission HS in SF.I might add my gd is of mixed race.I said “how does everybody get along at the school”?
Well she said the students self segregate.The blacks stick with the blacks,the gays and transgender,Pacific Islanders, goths,all are in their own groups.I said what about the Hispanics? She said they even segregate further.Mexicans with Mexicans,etc...I said what about the white kids?She laughed and said “white kids?There aren’t any”.
If blacks don’t have any self-inducedcultural issues that are hurting them and funding is equal, which it most definitely is, why do black schools need an infusion of white students in order to do better? Sounds pretty racist to me.
The authors intention is that if you mix a bucket of dog crap with a bucket of icecream, you will improve the flavor of the dog crap.
“Would you put your child in a school with less means knowing you could help improve schools in The City?”
No, I wouldn’t put my kids in any school in a city. Cities are full of liberal rats, and my kid wasn’t going to school with rats.
Diversity is a misspelling of the word ‘conflict.’
I work hard to be able to afford to live in a decent neighborhood, where I want my child at the neighborhood school making neighborhood friends so my child doesn’t grow up in the ghetto or white trash culture. The neighborhood is about 90% white. It isn’t a race issue. If a minority works hard and chooses to live in our neighborhood, his or her children belong at the school as well. I can’t help the fact that most minorities that make a good living choose not to move into my neighborhood and they have no room to complain about their schools when they choose to have their kids in the ghetto culture.
I do feel sorry for the mom that works at McDonalds and wants the best for her child and out of the ghetto but doesn’t have the intelligence to do better, but that doesn’t mean we should bus her whole neighborhood in. Magnet programs work in this case. If the parent cares enough to go through the application process and better their child’s application, the child is not likely to be a problem.
There is Gresham’s economic law “Bad money pushes out the good”. I have a Gresham’s law of culture: “Bad culture tends to push out the good”.
Applied to diversity, when you mix everything up, everything tends to entrophy into chaos and then you have a race to the bottom in behavior and values. That is why during the LA Riots, you saw a fair # of white people joining in the looting. When one group does something bad and gets away with it, others will imitate the practice.
As a parent, I try to send my children to the best schools that I can afford and are aligned with my worldview. Any parent who intentionally "reintegrates" their children at he expense of their children's education loves their politics more than their children.
Unprosperous Negro parents want their children to go to schools where they do not compare badly to the student body as a whole and want their kids to have a better chance at nominal success. The more prosperous of any race or ethnicity desire their children to go to the perceived academically better schools and to schools where their children are physically safer from assault and less exposed to drugs.
Lilly whites at work. White students attend white schools, black students attend Oakland schools.
Hmmm, what public school does Dorkbama’s children go to?
Can’t remember the name.
Liberals, when the bottom of your septic tank isn’t low enough.
