Why is obama allowed to put his kids in a school only 13% black??

[Lakhota]

The premise of this thread is clearly racist.

Sidwell's tuition is 32,000 a year. I'm guessing for 32,000 a year you can find almost any color school you want.

DC Public Schools receive almost $30K per capita per student annually and I gurantee they do not receive the same security, facilities, or learning materials that Sidwell does. If DC spends the most per student, why would the Liberal Elitists in NW DC feel compelled to send their kids to such a school based in Washington DC so under represented by blacks??

Yup - that's the question but it's never asked because we all know the answer. Black school means inferior and the liberals won't publicly concede that truth.

The real question is why other parents aren't allowed to choose the schools their children attend?

They are free to move.
Just like for a job.

The real question is why does eveyone else have to pay for your kids education.
Personal responsibility.
You have em you pay for em.

The United States is 13% black

The retort is that Sidwell Friends has 13 percent black enrollment which mirrors the US black population. Based on this position, perhaps the poster is suggesting that if other US institutions match/mirros the US black population, all is good.

Like Sidwell Friends, imagine if these other institutions are 13 percent black...

- Federal Government Employees
- Municipal employees in Detroit
- The NBA
- The NFL
- Corporate America
- The Military

In all of the posts I have ever read on this board, I have never seen a notion put forth by Liberal or Conservative, that an institution capping its black enrollment should match the US Black Population. Amazing.

Sorry....but your logic is still lost on me

Personally, I think that a prestigeous school like Sidwell having 13% black population is pretty damned good. All private schools should do as well

There is a private school in the same NW neighborhood as Sidwell that is almost 3x the black population that Sidwell is. Does that meet your standard?

Yeah - liberals say 13% black is ok so lets apply it to the post office. Bet it's 70% black, due to affirmative action. Bring the PO down to 13% black and watch liberals howl.

Since I'm white, must I send my kids to a predominately white school? What's your point?

Majority black schools are underfunded. And I don't care if they already get more per student than other schools. It's still too little.

Comments like that embarrass the whole board.

There are a lot of legitimate problems facing the mostly black, inner city schools in my city, including gang violence, high prevalence of drug use, and a shortage of motivated teachers and funding.

Would I be in the wrong to say that I wouldn't want my kids to go there?

You don't have to, but all good parents want to since they know white means better education. Obozo clearly thinks the same way and the media should ask him why he considers black schools inferior.

Of course not. You are willing to admit black schools are inferior and obozo should do the same.

PS - the biggest reason black schools are bad is because black kids have IQs in the 75 range. You and obozo both need to admit that.

How does the school Obama chose stack up to the 'black schools' statistically? Perhaps was he making a decision simply on non-racially charged stats (ie one school is safer, higher graduation rate, ect)?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

It's not just a private school, it's a WHITE private school. Why didn't obozo choose a black private school? Most likely because there aren't any.

What?

The predominately black schools in my area are less than ideal not because the students are black, but instead because they're located in poor communities ravaged by gang violence and broken homes. See the difference?

It's you who is turning this into a race issue.

For the pleasure of hearing people like you cry about it?

lol, if President Obama's kids had gone to a public school the 'nuts would have said that was just more evidence he's a socialist.

The 75 range? Is that envy I hear in your post?

 

[bodecea]

I have a few questions for you:

1. Why do you ask "why Obama is allowed"? Is there a law stating that Americans, even the President, aren't allowed to place their children in the school of their choice?

2. Does this school only have "white" children?

3. If that were true, what is the problem with our President putting his children in such a school, if the school accepts them?

4. How are black people "inferior"? Are you saying that our President is "inferior"? Are you saying his children are "inferior"? to you?

How can you ask such stupid questions as is the school all white. The thread title says it's 13% black!!!!

It was YOU who said it was a WHITE private school....

Now, are you going to answer my questions or dodge in a cowardly fashion?

That's prolly what he did but wouldn't it have looked better if he had chosen a black school that was highly rated? Trouble is - there aren't any and liberals need to admit that.
