If you could live anywhere in MOCO, where would you send your kids?

OK, I agree with you on the implied slur against minorities, which is wrong. But your Mein Fuhrer? That's just hysterical hype written with one goal: to rile folks up. Just like your "unevolved idiot" stuff is intended to rile me up (but I see your game here). So I guess you're not a big fan of reasoned discourse, you get your kicks from offensive insults. Go for it.

But for myself, when someone invokes Hitler, the thread has wound itself to a close. Thanks, Godwin.

YOU'RE in the wrong.

I shared that comment with three friends - one black, one African, one Asian. All three took offense. My black friend is a diversity trainer. So you can imagine how HE felt about it.

You don't get it.

That was a racist comment. Anyone who makes a such a statement is a racist.

I'm white, btw.

Good luck on your path to enlightenment.

I SAID I agreed with you about the racism.

But if you're ever going to reach enlightenment, you'll need to do something about your rage issues.

It gives you an idea where the system is heading.

Here is the latest enrollment report:

This report is sobering. Some of the schools had many more freshmen than seniors last year. Either there were boundary changes or the drop-out rates at schools like Gaithersburg and Kennedy were very high.

Transience is an issue, as is the drop out rate. Kennedy is in the DCC. So there is competition among the schools (Blair, Einstein, Kennedy, Northwood, Wheaton).
