In response to Joan Vennochi's column (“Students should know about Boston Latin’s up escalator”), Dan French's letter to the editor calls into question the author's suggestion that Boston Latin School is the only path to upward mobility in the Boston Public Schools, and that black and Latino students are underrepresented at BLS due to lack of knowledge about the school. Dan writes, "This disparity is not due to lack of communication; rather, systemic district policies ensure that BLS serves a predominantly white, Asian, and middle-class student population."
