I appreciate what the writer has said. It's a perspective that has not been heard in recent months.

The entire premise of her op-ed is ridiculous. With the exception of Cold Spring, the entire existing Asian community at Wootton will move right over to the new building. She loses nothing.

She is fighting so hard against adding other students to the school, and giving them the same sort of opportunity she was given at WHS. Adding more diversity is a good thing. But I guess they are the wrong kind of immigrant.

Why not just call it out that asians are not considered a minority to the liberal school system and they want to bus in equity

Asians are smart but how much more suffering and discrimination under the Democrats do they need to experience before moving forward to the right side? Seems like they vote against their own interests

I believe that this is the writer's point - Asian Americans do experience racism, and I have seen plenty of that, including on this website. Hostility to Asians in this community is palpable. Rita Montoya's comment is an indicator of that.

Way to miss the point of the article.

And I'm a supporter of H, but what she said is not wrong about Montoya's racism message. Montoya should apologize. Imagine if she said something like that about Hispanic or Black parents.

This is a blatant misrepresentation of what occurred and the author of this piece knows it. If you were watching that meeting, Mrs. Montoya spoke at great length about the current magnet system upholding systemic racism and frankly, seemed entirely disinterested in the boundary portion of the vote itself. When it came time for the vote, it was abundantly clear that Montoya was referencing the vote to uphold the current standard which historically has had minimal levels of participation from students who are not Asian or White. Please stop bullshitting and making this into something it is not, Ms. Sukhobok.

Montoya was referring to voting against the regional model when she said it. It was obvious, go watch the meeting. And the writer knows that but she is desperately grasping at straws to try to stop H from going forward. Not a coincidence that she's also the lead of CEPA and filing all the lawsuits.

Thanks for weighing in Rita, but your hot mic comment stands for itself - that was a really honest moment for you.

Yes, she supports Latinos. Asian families, not so much. She identified Asians as racist for disagreeing with the March 26 vote.

Regardless, she claims Asian American parents are racist. She sounds racist herself.

She's not wrong.
