I take it you're familiar with the Paideia School?

Very. I have friends who teach there and friends whose children have attended. It's a great example of the same kind of liberal hypocrisy evident in many other supposedly progressive private schools. (Sidwell Friends comes immediately to mind.) It sits in an expensive neighborhood just inside the borders of the City of Atlanta and was founded to provide wealthy white parents with an alternative to the largely black public school system here. But it has flourished by pretending to promote an enlightened view of society--that is, a completely PC view--in which race and gender issues are constantly kept in the forefront of discussion. And, of course, it has black students, in just the right numbers: enough, but not too many for the folks who keep the place afloat.

Lovely - I should have guessed from their page that I linked to above. I think we're all familiar by now with that sort of moneyed liberal, who is all too happy to give other people's money to the public schools, but who has no intention of ever bringing their own child within five miles of those same schools....
