"BOULDER - The neighborhood around Columbine Elementary School is 87 percent Anglo. But enrollment numbers indicate that many neighborhood kids are going elsewhere. This year, the school in northeast Boulder is 82 percent Hispanic."

I'd imagine the fact that mexicans outbreed Americans has something to do with that small percentage imbalance. Some of those immigrant families are huge.

Funny how liberals never want to live under the same policies they want everyone else to live under...

This kind of stuff is all the more reason why public schools should be replaced by competing private schools. The real problem is government interference and it won't be solved by adding additional regulations to the mix.

What percentage of Teachers with school age children are sending their kids to public school. In Milwaukee it was under 50% a few years ago.

"Any school worth its salt, with good teachers and good principals and good attitudes, can get these kids to achieve well," he says.

Uhhh......yeah. Sure. This is yet another mere coincidence where % of poor kids equals poor results.

You can draw a direct coorelation between free school meals and performance. The bigger % of free meals, the worse the test results.

BOULDER - The neighborhood around Columbine Elementary School...

Is this the same Columbine where there was a shooting a few years ago? I thought that Columbine school was in Littleton.

""For a liberal community, we aren't looking so liberal in the white flight we've experienced from some schools in the last 10 years," says Phillips, who was barred by term limits from seeking a third term on the school board."

Liberalism translated "its good for you but not us or our kids.... "

If parents are given a choice, why are they crucified when they exercise that choice?

If schools that are predominantly white outperform schools that are not, and that is demonstratable by facts, then is it racism to want to put your kids in a school where they will do better?

If schools that are predominantly white are safer and less violent schools that are not, and that is demonstratable by facts, then is it racism to want to put your kids in a school where they will be safer?

I'll choose what is best for my children and let people's perceptions of me fall where they may. I will NOT play the game of diversity at the expense of my children's future.

I thought 'Choice' was all that mattered?

Nice to see the Liberals in Boulder practicing what they preach...NOT!

At least they aren't doing what they did when I was a kid on Long Island: "Redlining" black census districts to segregate the schools. I went to a mediocre 99% white elementary school but one mile from a black neighborhood, due to such redlining.

Different Columbine.

The Columbine is the Colorado State Flower, so there are a lot of things named after the Columbine.
