Because attorneys routinely ignore stuff that can prove their case?

No it was laughed out of court as everyone expected since admissions are race-blind and the group claiming discrimination is the most well represented.

Again, please don't say "laughed out of court"

The case was taken seriously and the court made a serious determination.

Sure, as far as you can take a case seriously which has no foundation in reality.

There was someone early in the thread making the case that the plaintiff's attorneys tanked their own case because of shadowy MCPS interests. Which is obviously bananas but once you buy into a conspiracy theory it is hard to get out!

Except for the part that MCPS never claimed it wasn't all true? If it wasn't true, shouldn't MCPS said that? Why wouldn't you deny something that was totally false? Now I'm confused.

There's no reason for them to deny these crazy rumors. Why should they? These are the rantings of the unhinged.

Ah, this forum allows litigation to be discussed if mcps wins. But if they lose a fight like they did today, the posts are deleted.
No surprise who funds this forum.

Not sure what your talking about but I'm guessing if you post blatant misinformation, it will get deleted.

You would be wrong. Montgomery County is an advertiser on this forum, and they shut down posts they don't want made public. Blatant facts get deleted.

I've removed several off-topic posts from this page but I want to address this post. We have never sold advertising to Montgomery County or MCPS. Either or both may have purchased ads from an advertising network -- we use 12 different networks right now -- without our knowledge or involvement. I don't know if they have but I don't remember seeing any ads from either one. I can guarantee that we have never had any pushback from either with regards to posts here.

Of course you'd say that! [/fake conspiracy theorist]
