That doesn't mean that there can't be some redistricting to neighboring schools to help balance the numbers, but nobody should need to be bussed just due to balancing race as there are so many other factors.

So you are good with "separate but equal"?

NP, as long as the separate isn't forced, sure.

Seriously, where are all of these defenders of segregation coming from? Now they're supporting "separate but equal"?!

ok enough

in 2019 anyone can buy anywhere they want period. So quit the talk about segregation.

Seems like the liberals have moved from saying racisim too much to now using segregation. Try again neither of these terms is correct to describe the situation. No one is being forced to live in separate enclaves.

This is a completely ignorant statement. There are decades of policy that have created an unfair situation. You're just sweeping it under the rug with this incredibly naive statement.

In fact, very few people can live anywhere they want. This is the essence of privilege.

Where does it stop. King eloquently noted our children should be judged on the content of their character -- not the color of their skin. Seems like the BoE is judging kids on their skin color. (And only types of color will be focused on in this 'diversity' study) Sorry my Asian friends you are not considered 'diverse' because you have high test scores than everyone...

What's next -- if the squash team at Richard Montgomery is all Asian do we now need a squash team based on this 'diversity' policy? Can't wait for that lawsuit...

Let's face it -- MCPS schools are ALL mediocre due to the BoE's decision to adopt Curriculum 2.0 for NINE years. Some schools are 'better' because of more parental involvement. (Tutoring, extracurricular activities, parental input -- i.e. emphasizing manners). 75% of student success depends on family input. That's the truth.

If the BoE persists in this social engineering project these schools are going to become more segregated -- and the tax base will be shredded. Ah, but our fearless leaders never acknowledge the law of unintended consequences...

Seems like you're trying to cloak your pro-segregation histrionics under the guise of civil rights. You must be joking.

My son goes to a W school but we live close to the Richard Montgomery border and we paid a good $100K more than what our house would have cost in the RM district. I grew up in Montgomery County and went to another “W” school, so the prospect of having my child bussed to attend a racially and socioeconomically diverse school worries me, since it is not what I experienced. I’ll admit my own implicit biases and racism makes me worry about my child having an educational experience that differs from what I had growing up. That being said, so many of the comments on this forum and in other forums I have read that oppose the boundary study are truly frightening and make clear that the bulk of opposition, (I’d say a good 90 percent) boils down to straight up racism. We have people on here straight up saying they support “separate but equal.” In 30 years from now we will all look back at this and the opponents are going to be on the wrong side of history. It is high time white people like me own up to our own implicit biases and racism and face the fact that allowing the current system to continue is just plain wrong.

Why does it worry you? My kids get "bused" to RM from near the Cold Spring border. It doesn't worry me one bit. The school is fine. My kid is doing great there.

But that has nothing to do with race. Economic privilege? Sure. But not based on race.

But of course, economic privilege has been closely tied to race for most of this country's history.

What are you talking about? Everyone chooses where they live. MCPS has neighborhood schools, as of now. There’s no forced segregation. It really isn’t that complicated.
