This book came into my life exactly when I needed it. As I struggle to find a neighborhood and school that balances diversity with a good education, I've found myself using some of the same logic and making some of the same assumptions to justify my top and bottom choices as these parents. Raised in a middle class white family, I've used some of the same coding that the parents use and have struggled with some of the same points. Growing up in a small, rural town with little diversity, I also saw my childhood thoughts reflected in some of these children. I don't want my child to grow up sheltered in a white privileged community because it's important for the development of his worldview that he is surrounded by people of different races and class. While the author didn't explicitly state an answer, she did help me work through my struggle to identify where I want to live and raise my child. All white parents should read this book.
