If I recall this correctly, there was some guy from Reston interviewing Omeish when she was a candidate in 2019 and complaining about the Langley boundaries. She went along with it, but it wasn't like she brought it up or added much.

You say "Talk about bigotry." If I recall, the Reston guy claimed that Langley was skimming the "creme of the crop" from Herndon and Reston neighborhoods. So you can claim that's bigoted if he was equating wealthier families, mostly White and Asian, with the "creme of the crop." On the other hand, FCPS has curated Langley's boundaries over the years so that, in 2025, it still has no condos and apartments and only a small number of townhouses. That didn't happen by accident, so there may have been some bigotry at play there as well.

It will be interesting to see if, once again, other parts of the county are subjected to boundary changes while no one gets moved out of Langley.

big·ot
[ˈbiɡət]
noun
a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group:
"don't let a few small-minded bigots destroy the good image of the city" · "a racist bigot"

The vitriol in his speech was troubling. The definition of bigot seems applicable. These are kids he is talking about. And, I looked it up--Langley is around 50% white. Using the term "lily white" seems like a slur.

+1
The interviewer was a horrible, blatant bigot. And Omeish just went right along with him.

This was six years ago and Omeish isn’t on the SB any longer. Meanwhile the bigotry of the Langley community towards Hispanics in Herndon has never ceased.

Remember your unhinged post from a couple of days ago on this topic? Because we sure do.

You have no credibility because you continue to assert, without any basis, that your neighbors are racist.

You. Are. Disgusting.

1. You are confliating posters.

2. Don't pretend that people are your "neighbors" when you constantly proclaim your desire not to interact with their kids.

3. The constant denigration of Herndon by Great Falls posters is as bigoted as anything from that old interview with Omeish.

Get. Over. Yourselves.

“Constant denigration”? You must clearly have receipts. Would love to see them. Feel free to show us the constant denigration. Go find them. We’ll wait. (Pathetic if you can’t back up your claims).

When you claim everyone is racist you become the boy who cried wolf and you do a real disservice to actual racism. You are the problem, it’s you.

Precisely this. Notice, the PP will never tell us which school his/her kids attend. I’d love it if their kids were rezoned. Seems only fitting.

All you needed to do was look at 10:45 for an example of the condescending, insulting posts.

But it's OK. Once your kids get reassigned to Herndon, at least some of you will change your tune.

If her kids are as insufferable as she is, I feel for any kids that get redistricted to her pyramid.

Imagine all the claims of racism that they would throw at you.

And notice she hasn’t returned with any support for her racism claims. She sets our entire community back with her unsubstantiated claims.

NP. Stop with the Herndon bashing. You could do far worse outside of there or Lewis or whatever other school you want to denigrate. Get a grip and stop hyperventilating. FX County residents voted for this board. Now, we are stuck with them. And don’t act like this is a surprise. It has been on the agenda for years and voters ignored it, because candidates focus on the new stuff in campaigns not what is already in progress. Voters should have also paid attention to residential zoning which continues to pick winners and losers. And to other policies. Voters created this mess, now we’re stuck.(HHS parent)

I agree about not bashing Herndon. That is unnecessary. But, the poster who claims that people don't want to move because they are "racist" is way out of line. That man that interviewed Omeish is an example. I know it was six years ago, but the vitriol about the "lily white" Langley was really, really over the top.

The bottom line: Almost no one wants to change schools. The ones that do manage by going AP/IB depending on the situation.

It would be interesting to see which kids are placing out of Herndon High. Do most come from the same elementary school? Middle School?

There is no question in my mind that eliminating IB would solve a lot of problems of exodus from schools. Once that starts it becomes "group think." I'm betting that most kids come from the same elementary schools and moved as a group.

Then, maybe, the situation would improve without moving anyone.

I could go either way on elementary. I don’t love them from a transportation standpoint and it seems like it puts a lot of 20% full buses on the road. But maybe better to keep them as still not every school has LLIV (two big ES in the WS pyramid do not). MS AAP seems like it could be handled by just offering more MS advanced/honors classes.

But, getting rid of centers is a pipe dream now because the advocacy groups have the ear of the SB and continue to promote their existence.

I believe this is part of the long term plan - to make every middle school an AAP center so kids are attending their home school in their community.

No, the plan is AAP in every elementary school and honors at every middle. No more AAP at middle schools.

I specifically questioned Mateo Dunne about the AAP centers at one of his outreach meetings because it seems to add a lot of transportation costs, buses on the road, and kids not attending their community schools which seems to be a goal of this boundary change fiasco. And he said there were interest groups keeping the centers afloat and there were no plans to change them. I don’t get why, it seems like putting LLIV at all the elementaries and middle school AAP at all the middles, and dumping centers and the associated transportation, would be a cost savings and would result in more kids attending their local schools. But I guess it’s better to fool around with all the boundaries. /s

The vitriol in his speech was troubling. The definition of bigot seems applicable. These are kids he is talking about. And, I looked it up--Langley is around 50% white. Using the term "lily white" seems like a slur.

The interviewer was a horrible, blatant bigot. And Omeish just went right along with him.

This was six years ago and Omeish isn’t on the SB any longer. Meanwhile the bigotry of the Langley community towards Hispanics in Herndon has never ceased.

Remember your unhinged post from a couple of days ago on this topic? Because we sure do.

You have no credibility because you continue to assert, without any basis, that your neighbors are racist.

You. Are. Disgusting.

1. You are confliating posters.

2. Don't pretend that people are your "neighbors" when you constantly proclaim your desire not to interact with their kids.

3. The constant denigration of Herndon by Great Falls posters is as bigoted as anything from that old interview with Omeish.

Get. Over. Yourselves.

“Constant denigration”? You must clearly have receipts. Would love to see them. Feel free to show us the constant denigration. Go find them. We’ll wait. (Pathetic if you can’t back up your claims).

When you claim everyone is racist you become the boy who cried wolf and you do a real disservice to actual racism. You are the problem, it’s you.

All you needed to do was look at 10:45 for an example of the condescending, insulting posts.

But it's OK. Once your kids get reassigned to Herndon, at least some of you will change your tune.

NP. Stop with the Herndon bashing. You could do far worse outside of there or Lewis or whatever other school you want to denigrate. Get a grip and stop hyperventilating. FX County residents voted for this board. Now, we are stuck with them. And don’t act like this is a surprise. It has been on the agenda for years and voters ignored it, because candidates focus on the new stuff in campaigns not what is already in progress. Voters should have also paid attention to residential zoning which continues to pick winners and losers. And to other policies. Voters created this mess, now we’re stuck.(HHS parent)

Some of the Great Falls/Langley posters are bullies but when they are reassigned to Herndon at least some of them will come around. Until then they will just continue to insult Herndon, the School Board, and any parents who acknowledge that some boundary changes may be appropriate.

If I recall this correctly, there was some guy from Reston interviewing Omeish when she was a candidate in 2019 and complaining about the Langley boundaries. She went along with it, but it wasn't like she brought it up or added much.

You say "Talk about bigotry." If I recall, the Reston guy claimed that Langley was skimming the "creme of the crop" from Herndon and Reston neighborhoods. So you can claim that's bigoted if he was equating wealthier families, mostly White and Asian, with the "creme of the crop." On the other hand, FCPS has curated Langley's boundaries over the years so that, in 2025, it still has no condos and apartments and only a small number of townhouses. That didn't happen by accident, so there may have been some bigotry at play there as well.

It will be interesting to see if, once again, other parts of the county are subjected to boundary changes while no one gets moved out of Langley.

I thought that GF residents were irredeemable racists.

Make up your mind🙄

"Lily white upper middle-class kids are the cream of the crop, and South Lakes/Herndon would be so much better if Langley didn't steal the ones that should be going to those schools. It's an injustice, a SCANDAL! Bring back our lily-white kids!"---liberal Democrat voter and tv show host.
