I have faith that the majority of lamb is more educated than that and will recognize the importance of diversity and inclusivity.


I am not white and I support this move and am thrilled. Are you suggesting there are no black or poor kids at Missouri right now? Have you been to Ward 4? Maybe this move makes it harder for many from Ward 6, 7, 8, but it also makes it easier for many "poor or black" from Ward 4. If that is your main concern.

Also are there only 2 categories of kids at lamb - lower middle class white vs. black or poor. I don't fall into either of those and neither do many other lamb families.

There is a huge difference between "easier for some" versus "impossible for all".

Revolting piece of trash that you are.

You sound very odd. The LAMB mothership has always been in Ward 4. Anyone applying to the school had to expect to travel there.

There is also a huge difference between "easier for many" and "impossible for a few"

This fight illustrates why opening SD -- and staying there so long -- was a bad idea.

The school is now effectively 2 schools with different needs, desires.

Had the Walter Reed building been cut loose by DoD a few years ago as planned, maybe it could have been avoided.

There is definitely a pattern of mismanagement relating to the school's location.

Did you read the previous email - it was DoD that delayed opening, not lamb.

I'm the parent of a child at SD and expected that campus to feel like a lesser, outpost building and that has never been the case. I applaud the administration for doing whatever was necessary to set that tone.

But I always knew that it was a school based in upper Ward 4 and was prepared to travel there. I'm not surprised by the shit fits, but I think they are somewhat insincere.

I am a new parent this past year at SD. I always knew coming in and talking to parents that the long term plan was for SD to close. If not Kingsbury, it would have been a combination of Missouri and WR. So fighting Kingsbury is not going to get the anti-Ward 4 crowd anywhere because then the plan will still be Missouri and WR. Staying at SD is not and has never been advertised as a permanent option.

You really need to tone it down, educate yourself on the facts, and realize no one needs to run a shuttle from your doorstep to any charter.
