More than 90 percent of the students at Alhambra High are black, Latino or Asian. On a recruiting effort there over the winter, the city's Melissa Boyle tells students she's not looking for strong swimmers. Like many under-resourced schools, Alhambra doesn't have a swim team.

Notice the 'pity party' excuse?

It's not that their parents didn't give a damn about raising their kids - it's because their schools didn't have 'swim teams'...

IS THERE ANYONE here who learned to swim at school? Anyone? There are public pools in every city.... maybe the parents should get off their behinds and take their kids to free swim lessons or teach them themselves.

When the first child dies at one of these public pools attempting to be 'oh so inclusive' how will guilty white liberal idiots find a way to blame white people?

"More than 90 percent of the students at Alhambra High are black, Latino or Asian."

That means that 90 per cent of the parents are lazy, stupid, and are too apathetic to have their kids get swimming lessons. Maybe THAT is why anglo kids are life guards?

Aside from college, no school I ever went to had a swim team; hell, thet didn’t even have a pool.

Funny thing, though, that almost everyone still learned how to swim.
