Oregon: White flight from schools should be stopped, says group.
Reuters ^ | 11/11/2014

Posted on 11/15/2014 3:11:45 AM PST by Altura Ct.

A citizen's group in Portland, Oregon, said on Monday the city should drop policies allowing students to transfer public schools, saying it is making the schools less racially diverse and poorer.

"It's mostly white, mostly middle-class families, transferring out of schools that have students of color," said Kali Thorne Ladd, a member of the group which had been asked by educators to evaluate Portland Public Schools transfer policies.

These allow students to switch to schools in different neighborhoods, but they must enter a lottery if spots are limited. There is also a separate lottery system for students hoping to transfer to selective "magnet" schools which offer advanced curriculums.

typical. They allow all student to pick schools and when the pick schools, they complain.

They are taught to hate whites, yet they so much love following them around.

The primary issue is probably perceived academic rigor.

It’s not because they’re black. It’s because they act like predatory animals. A high school teacher told me he complimented a black boy for his good work. The next day the boy was absent. When he showed up again he’d been severely beaten by the other blacks. He never turned in another assignment or completed another test. (That’s the reason.)

I would say lack of discipline - bullying - sexual assaults - drugs - you know - all those things that shouldn’t be in a school...is driving those students to leave...visiting a zoo for a day is neat - trying to learn in one is not!

Then again - it may be the teachers fault at certain schools that are to blame for students leaving...: http://www.katu.com/news/local/Dozens-of-Oregon-teachers-disciplined-in-2014-for-behaving-badly—281036432.html

So you do like white people and they are useful. Forcing “white” parents to keep thier kids in bad schools in the name of diversity.

HA HA HA liars all of them.

Just like Gruber, the practice of lying to get the result you want is just part of what makes democrats.

Their unhappiness is about money, not diversity or anything else.

Liars - all of them.

"It's mostly white, mostly middle-class families, transferring out of schools that have students of color,"

Huh, I thought the thirteenth amendment had taken care of that.

It is now racist to want a decent education for your child.

This is Manhattan in a nutshell. Rich leftists who scream about the importance of the public schools, yet strive to not send their kids to those schools. Their “diversity experience” is rooted in the private school accepting a few token black kids from Harlem. In other words, “we like black people, but not too many of them.”

If black families were better neighbors and students, this would not be an issue.
I know some would flee anyway, but the number is small.
For the most part, students and families just do not want to put up with all the crime, unacceptable attitudes and behavior from black students.
