Assessment

Start class - has some alright sections, a little bit crufty, the sections direct the readers attention. A history section would be useful. The facts section should be merged into the article somewhere, it is a tad strange. Low importance, very little assertation of notability. Infobox needed too.

I have revised this article to stub. Start class articles are required to have a 'meaningful amount of content' and the list of subjects doesn't really qualify. With a few proper prose sections this article could easily be made into a start. Dahliarose 08:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1990s Arab survey

There was a survey given to students around March 19, 1990 asking if they had prejudicial views against Arabs, and the school administration apologized for giving out the said survey.

From: Sorkin, Arleen and Paul Slansky. My Bad: The Apology Anthology. Bloomsbury USA, December 26, 2007. p. 79. (Alternate view, Alternate view 2, Search view #1, Search view #2, Search view #3).

"We are disappointed with ourselves that, in attempting to measure anti-Arabic prejudice among non-Arabic students at Dearborn High School, we inadvertently insulted those whose problems [...] we were attempting to expose, deal with, and rectify." (this statement was made by principal Ann Superko)

The page stated that the survey actually caused racial tensions that were not previously present: the questions included "Do they deal drugs?" and "Do they pay their fair share of taxes?" and "Do they have poor hygiene habits?" WhisperToMe (talk) 15:26, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was reported in the newspapers in that period. For example: "School apologizes for Arab survey." Associated Press at the Standard-Speaker (Hazelton, Pennsylvania). March 21, 1990. p. 34. - I stated that a journalism teacher and his students developed the survey., WhisperToMe (talk) 15:36, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
