Although troy high may boast about its extremely diverse student body. It's faculty remains homogenized.  The average teacher is white, female, and in her late 20s, early 30s.  There seems to be an underrepresentauto in certain d groups of people that may create a questionable environment.  It's like the thing Ms. Valentino said about being the only white person at a basketball game:  it's a challenge not being represented, and it makes school life that much harder.  To be completely transparent (i.e. to acknowledge my priceless as a white person in America) I had never really paid attention to the faculty diversity until Ms. Valentino mentioned it- it's weird the things we can justify to ourselves in order to sustain our own image.  In the bigger picture of the American educational system, I'd suspect this situation is pretty similar, it's like that quote: "white men saving brown women from brown men" except ignoring gender and the saving is educational.
