The fact that you call skin color "historically underserved populations" doesn't change anything. Pointing that treating students differently based on skin color doesn't deny that students of color have been treated poorly historically it just points out that mistreating white students is not the answer to balance.

Of course then you would be helping those poor white trash rednecks in rural America and nobody wants that. All her kind of thinking does is create more distance and resentment. Busting sounded like a great idea until it has the very predictable consequences of driving whites and their wealth out of the city. Feel just dots not mean a plan won't have unintentional consequences and training teachers that skin color should be factor in how they treat students is already having negative consequences.
