That’s not about prestige. It’s about wanting their kids to be around rich whites rather than poor browns. |

Oh look, it’s the social justice warrior being racist again. |

I'd measure prestige when we're talking about a public high school in NoVa (other than TJ) by the frequency with which realtors make specific reference in their listings to properties being assigned to particular schools.
By that standard, I think Langley, McLean, Woodson, Oakton, and Madison are still the "prestigious" high schools. Does that happen with Chantilly? Maybe so - I don't pay attention to houses in that area. |

I’d guess the preference has a lot to do with how much closer these neighborhoods are to Chantilly than to Oakton. A family I know who lives near Kindercare Franklin Farm—which is currently zoned for Oakton—told me that a lot of families would actually prefer to go to Chantilly because it’s more convenient. |

Smart people are more likely to have higher incomes. Smart people are more likely to have smart kids. Rich kids = smart kids. |

It’s about wanting their kids around wealthy kids and not around poor ones. There, fixed it for you. Does this make it any better? |

It makes your post less racist, yes. |

NP. Yes exactly. The social justice warrior is indeed a racist; obsessed with examining and judging little children not on their character, but on the color of their skin. She wrote: “That’s not about prestige. It’s about wanting their kids to be around rich whites rather than poor browns.” Social justice warriors are racists. |

| It’s so very cute when the privileged and wealthy complain about racism. Tell me you haven’t had to deal with racism or racist microagressions without telling me. I am not talking about silly jokes like “White men can’t jump.” |

I don’t shy away from conversations about race, but when a social justice warrior is the one to repeatedly bring up race and then immediately claims that the other side are racist, It does make me question which side is focused on skin color over all else. |

That is because it has worked well for years. Call people racist, and they quit discussing issues. No longer. |

+1000 So, so glad that people are pushing back on this idiocy, at long last. |

| For the record, using social justice warrior as a pejorative is a tactic also used to silence and police people who call out facts that actual racists are uncomfortable with. |

That won't work. Kind of like the people who want affordable housing--but "not in my backyard." Or, like a SB activist who is on the BRAC committee but does not want her neighborhood touched but thinks we need this boundary study. |

And there you go again, bringing up race all the time then calling people racist. You’re a parody at this point. |
