“You are going to love us - or else”
typical. They allow all student to pick schools and when the pick schools, they complain.
Who wants to be around a bunch of animals?
They are taught to hate whites, yet they so much love following them around.
“We demand a wider victim selection!”
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 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.
It has been my observation that the first thing a black individual or family does when they get sufficient money is to move away from other blacks.
That is okay for them. But when whitey does not want his children forced into that same environment that successful blacks fled, there is uproar? This is the height of hypocrisy. Blacks know what the situation is better than whites. This outcry is insincere at best.
Yes make them stay at gun point.
Many posters here seem to assume the issue is discipline. It may be. But my hunch is that a gradual growing unease with the lack of academic rigor is likely the driver. Note that the story emphasizes that selective magnet schools are also a target.
As the percentage of students from poor backgrounds increases, academic rigor tends to give way to remediation. Then the usual suspects show up demanding that that racial disparities in grades be reduced, the standard tactic for this being grade inflation and the further erosion of standards. Parents committed to academic excellence give up on their neighborhood school and bid for the still-good school across town, or give up on the regular classrooms entirely and fix their hopes on advanced/honors/AP/magnet programs. Since there are racial correlates to this, the race police are hot on their heels, and the magnet programs also become targets. Private schools and the suburbs start to look better and better. And so the downward spiral accelerates.
But here is the tricky thing. The U.S. is going to be majority minority by midcentury. In the younger demographic, we already are. I don't know where the 50% divide currently falls in the K-12 continuum, but school systems with a majority white student body are soon going to be the exception, not the norm.
So ... if the race hucksters continue to attack academic excellence as white privilege, the flight of academically gifted students of all races from urban public schools will become a stampede. The race police must learn to accept academic excellence on a color neutral basis, and disregard the median melanin content that this produces in academically rigorous programs. (And if a classroom turns out to be 70% Asian, so be it.) The alternative is to drive academically committed families of all races out of the public school system entirely. This has already happened in many cities. Portland should surely be able to learn from myriad examples, but there seem to be none so blind as race hucksters on a rampage.
Until certain minorities stop embracing a culture of willful ignorance, those who care about serious education will avoid sharing a classroom them. Period.
