You're trying to conflate Brown v Board of Ed to busing students between Prince Georges and MoCo? Yep. 7th grade arguments.

Race-integration busing in the United States (also known as simply busing or by its critics as forced busing) was the practice of assigning and transporting students to schools within or outside their local school districts in an effort to diversify the racial make-up of schools. While the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, many American schools continue to remain largely uni-racial due to housing inequality. In an effort to address the ongoing de facto segregation in schools, the 1971 Supreme Court decision, Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education, ruled that the federal courts could use busing as a further integration tool to achieve racial balance.

This sounds like just the thing to solve segregation in the Takoma Park/Langley Park area.

Blair parents reek of sour grapes that they didn’t want anyway....too sour. Next thing they will tell us is that a Pontiac is just as good as a Cadillac

Such talk makes you look crazy

Crazy is putting it lightly

This is a public school system. If you think of a select few of the schools in the system as comparable to a luxury car, then there is a big problem.

If in this alternate version of reality the boundaries between PG and MoCo were eliminated and the point was to desegregate and/or increase the diversity in each county’s schools, the answer wouldn’t be to change the demographics of the already diverse and non segregated DCC schools, it would be for PG County kids to be bused to Whitman and Churchill, where the schools are lacking in diversity and some would say segregated, and vice versa.

When you can show us MoCo's, Prince George's, and Maryland's deliberate, illegal segregationist policies that need addressing via this legal precedent, please file suit.

It's called de facto segregation, the same type of segregation east county white progressives say exists in MCPS. We just need to remind enough people (state and local BOEs as well as local PTAs that segregated schools, no matter where they are, should be fully integrated. Once everyone is alerted to the benefits of diversity, they will all be in favor and a lawsuit won't be necessary.

You claim DCC schools are already diverse. But when compared with western PG schools they are not very diverse at all. And yes, it would make schools like Whitman and Churchill more diverse to have PG Co kids bused there but I don't think PG County parents would want their kids bused that far. TPES and MS are right there though.

I'm just following suit. These are the same cases east county progressives cited when claiming that MCPS was segregated and that they needed to make diversity a priority in the boundary policy.

Of course they are. DCC schools are more diverse than either western MoCo or western PG schools are.

PP clearly doesn’t understand the meaning of the word diversity. Hint, being heavily minority does not make a school diverse.

Huh?? They're more diverse than PG schools.
You're clearly a deranged person. Get off DCUM and take your meds.

Unfortunately, in MoCo "more diverse" just means more "victims of oppression." And there's no such thing as too many. It's why the MCPS BOE claims to be diverse despite the lack of men and Asians on the board. So yes, PG county schools are more diverse than east county MoCo schools.

And it doesn't even matter. As long as PG County schools are segregated, everyone in MoCo should support desegregating it by enthusiastically sending their kids to PG County schools to help their diversity.

Also, there's a huge (40+ point) disparity in FARMS rate between east MoCo schools and eastern PG County schools. Desegregation busing will help with that as well.

Even if that was true, do you support keeping PG County schools segregated when Takoma Park has an abundance of perfectly good white kids it could send to PG County schools?

You can’t be serious. Why wouldn’t Moco not send “perfectly good white kids” from Bethesda or Potomac? You’re ridiculous and clearly a troll.

It isn’t the schools with the disparity it is the outcomes of the students based on starting points and the obligations of the haves to walk the road with the have-nots and all their reciprocal drama
