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 in sadness wondering what they could do”

What they should do, of course, is send their children to a school where there is a possibility of learning and NOT GETTING BEAT UP. That is what loving parents will do.

I wouldn't choose white schools, either, from 2023...

11-year-old reads aloud from ‘pornographic’ book he checked out from library at school board meeting

Parents of EVERY skin color should get and keep their kids out of publik skrewls.

You're in good company. From NYS, last month...

Missing Kids: NY Public School Enrollment Falls Again

Enrollment in New York public schools this year sank to its lowest level since the early 1950s, according to preliminary state Education Department (NYSED) data, from 2.4 million in 2022-23 to 2.38 million...

Gee, I wonder why...? 🤔

Meanwhile, no layoffs to speak of, budgets not reduced, school taxes up...

Yeah, this is really about education, isn't it...

The bussing in SC during the 1980s was court ordered...

Not enough white parents were living in black districts or sending their children to black schools...

White parents didnt get to choose whether or not their white child would be bussed...

Our children had gone to a Christian school (K-12) with Alpha Omega school books for years and my son had been top of the school for 2nd Grade but we had to put them in public school that year when he was 11 and in 5th Grade...

I would have home schooled but SC made it very hard to do so even though I had a teaching certificate ...

They would refuse to even send applications to parents even though they were supposed to ...

I home schooled after we moved to TN in 1986...

Here you had to have a 4-year college degree at that time....

”I will send my child somewhere the student body is 13 percent black. Which is a true representation”

Thirteen percent violent and disruptive students ruin the school for everyone else. Even one troublemaker will ruin the experience for many students if discipline is forbidden.

“There is inherent hatred against white kids by black kids.”

Not inherent. Taught by race hustler DemonCRATS and their allies.

I hope her daughter doesn’t end up like (White) Kaylee who is fighting for her life:

“A White teenage girl is in critical condition after a black teen repeatedly smashed her head into the ground during a brawl near a 98% black Missouri high school.”

I thought blacks wanted their own separate schools, etc. Why are they complaining about no white people. Seems they like to complain and are never happy.

I went to my younger brothers High school graduation, the same school I attended 10 years earlier. One difference was the percentage of black students from when I attended which was around 25% to that present day 75 to 80 %. [ now it's 100%]. I never saw such a raucous crowd screaming, yelling , whistling, dancing , inappropriate applause, interrupting speakers. I finally had enough and left early. If I see a crowd of blacks nowadays I avoid them like the plague.

“Why White Parents Won’t Choose Black Schools”

1. they don’t want their children growing up speaking Ebonics ...

2. good kids almost invariably succumb to, and emulate, the bad habits and bad behavior of bad-behaving kids, esp. if the majority of the kids are bad-behaving ...

The same reason you don’t hear about white people integrating into black communities. Why would you?

White kids are not safe in predominantly black schools.

Yep...lived that in Little Rock in the 80s with desegregation/bussing.

There is inherent hatred against white kids by black kids.

Yep! Lived that too! Blacks, even in the 80s were indoctrinated just like Hamas kindergartners are against Jews. They would kill us if they had a chance. I knew this in 1982.

If you have white kids or grandkids do all you can to get them to private schools, even if you have to go into hock.

This is what my grandparents did. They helped pay for me and my brothers to go to Catholic schools starting in 8th grade. My education was so bad that they (the nuns) had me come in an hour early, and stay 2 hours late + a couple of Saturdays to catch up to 8th grade level Catholic school kids. Public schools, even in the 80s were going downhill FAST. I can't imagine what they are now. Glad my kids are in private schools today.

Race hatred is both taught and a natural part of the world of homo sapiens.

Tribalism has been real since we crawled out of the caves.

Our problem today is that tribalism is considered good for some tribes and evil for others.

That double standard cannot and must not stand.
