21. If you're a racist, you
wouldn't go near my son's private school.

A quarter of the kids in the class are from Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi backgrounds. The school attracts the kids of doctors.

Ironically, it is a Christian school, but 1/4 of the students in the class are Muslim or Hindi. They all have to go to chapel every morning.

I had a long talk with the dad of one of the Muslim kids, a heart surgeon, at a minor league baseball game where my kid held his birthday party. He said he sends his kid there because it's the best education available. What choice do you have? he asked. He was still critical of the school's science department though.
