Is anyone else bothered by the subtle social underclass undertones made in the article? Like:

"Most live in this city’s poorer districts and begin their academic life well behind the curve."

"..two other students ambled by, one wearing a pair of clown pants as a headscarf."

"..a 4-year-old boy in a FUBU jersey and long dreadlocks..."

It's almost like the point being made is that, even dummies like these can benefit from our program.
