Why White Parents Won't Choose Black Schools
Your Tango ^ | Mar 17, 2023 | Abby Norman

Posted on 03/16/2024 4:31:15 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

Last year when I attempted to pick my daughter up from school, the volunteers in the carpool line tried to put a fourth grader in my car, not the four-year-old I was attempting to retrieve. Both of us were vehemently shaking our heads, both of us looked totally confused, but the man with the radio would not be deterred.

There are only a handful of white kids at my daughter's school and only two of them are car riders. One of them gets picked up by her mom, and the other, by her dad. This white girl went with the white mom, and I was a white mom. This must be the right van.

This slightly awkward interaction strikes at the heart of the change in our neighborhood. While we were once one of the only white people in the neighborhood, most of the abandoned houses are now snapped up and fixed up by young white couples, often with kids. Those kids don't go to our school.....

The same people who were questioning the school I picked for my girls and starting their own charter school wanted to talk to me about the This American Life podcast about segregated schools. They wanted to talk to me about things I already knew.

Our schools are more segregated than they have ever been. Our educational system is deeply inequitable. Things are only getting worse.

They shook their concerned liberal heads in sadness wondering what they could do

"They shook their concerned liberal heads"

Looks to me this is a indoctrination effort to get libs to put their kids in dangerous schools. Child safety is never mentioned. Of course it only applies to lower income libs, Obama libs go to expensive, exclusive private schools.

With is happening in the public schools today, I would not put any children in any of them no matter what its racial balance.

I am frightened by loud adults. I have seen first hand how quickly loud turns angry and I want nothing to do with it. I have seen how loud adults become violent and I want nothing to do with it. Black is 13 percent of the the population and I will send my child somewhere the student body is 13 percent black. Which is a true representation.

Well...it’s for many reasons. One of the main reasons is that they know that colleges worth attending don’t think much of a diploma from Martin Luther King Jr High School.

driving range.

It falls flat to say how wonderful the school is after leading with an anecdote about a volunteer’s determination to put a small child in the wrong car.

I read the whole article. Some discrepancies in it. Some day she will be crying as videos of her kid getting beat up are posted on TikTok.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Late in the article the author calls white people oppressors.

Sending a student to a public school is like sending a child to a San Francisco bathhouse. /spit

Sounds like the virtue signaling author is misrepresenting in the title where her child is going to school to amp up her virtue signaling street cred. She is not going to a black school. She is going to a primarily Spanish school. World of difference between the two when it comes to violence perpetuated against small white contingencies attending them. They are two totally different cultures. I think this posturing woman considers all who are not white as black.

Blacks who’ve been successful also don’t put their kids in majority black schools....see the Obamas.
