Fordham LIVE!>> SHARE THIS SHARE on Facebook SHARE  on Twitter FORWARD to a Friend       FORDHAM LIVE! The Diverse Schools Dilemma An evening with Mike Petrilli and Capitol Hill moms on a crucial question for urban parents Many of today's parents yearn to live in or near the lively, culturally vibrant heart of the city—in diverse, walkable neighborhoods full of music and theater, accessible to museums and stores, awash in ethnic eateries, and radiating a true sense of community—neighborhoods like Capitol Hill. But standing in the way of many parents' urban aspirations is the question: Will the public schools in the city provide a strong education for my kids? This quandary and others are addressed in a groundbreaking new book by the Fordham Institute's Michael J. Petrilli, a Washington-area father who himself is struggling with the Diverse Schools Dilemma. On Wednesday, November 14, at 8PM join him for a conversation about this challenging topic at the Hill Center on Capitol Hill. (Reception to begin at 7:30PM.)
