Sorry, I’m not ready to turn away from your prior racist comments about people who don’t speak English good enough. We haven’t talked that through yet, especially given your stance as a SJW.

Sorry, I’m not the person you’ve been spitting at.

I think it is important to call out racists when they post, especially when they masquerade as being an ally to the downtrodden by advocating for redistricting. We can’t let racism slide in our society. I won’t tolerate it.

How is suggesting separating Langley from the Dranesville District an issue? I’m exhausted by the entitlement of some of those parents. I resent the fact that they think going to HHS will be a detriment to their children. What a load of crock. I want Langley out of our region, so that we can focus on education and not property values.

The issue is that she mocks non native English speakers repeatedly all the while advocating for Langley to colonize Herndon High. Racist and paternalistic.

Don’t be an apologist for the racist.

Amen! I would also just like FCPS to be able to make sensible, efficient decisions without Langley parents trying to delay or hijack the process because they are worried that some kids they don’t want may be assigned to Langley or that some Langley kids who live a few miles from Herndon might be moved there.

It really does feel like the tail is wagging the dog when they start complaining about social engineering before FCPS staff has even taken a hard look at what might make sense.

I’m so confused. Do you want Langley to paternalistically colonize Herndon High or do you want Langley banished from Fairfax County?

And did you end up deciding to ignore the repeated racism from the redistricting advocate?

I don’t accept the false choices. All I expect is for Langley to be treated as part of FCPS for planning purposes. Not a big ask, really.

How is it a false choice, it literally was discussed in the quoted post.

Also, what about the racist redistricting advocate? Any views on whether her racism is okay?

It’s not my job to answer for every poster on the thread, any more than it is to keep you from being a colossal bore.

But you literally answered my question directed to the PP. Like you literally did the opposite of what you are saying here.

Anyway, I just want to circle back to the redistricting advocate’s blatant racism. We can’t let her racism slide, right?

I agreed with a prior poster and then responded to your question.

ANYONE who cares about our community should care about our public schools. They all have a right to vote, run for office (yes, even for school board!), and voice their opinions.
Saying you should have to have children in the system in order to run for SB or to vote is gross discrimination and is voter suppression. Think about how that would sound if you replaced your qualifier (about having school-age children) with a different one, such as gender, sex, religion, skin color, difference in ability, etc. Think about that. Just think. I hope you are ashamed of yourself!

Yes, that's what I'm saying. The only people with a say should be those with skin in the game who are directly impacted by the schools. That means parents.

By your reasoning, we should open up voting for Governor to the following people:
1. Arthur, who lives in California but his kids live in Virginia
2. Beatrice, a former Virginia resident who has retired to Florida but still has friends here
3. Carlos, a house cleaner who lives in Maryland but cleans houses in Virginia
4. Jorge, a Guatemalan currently walking towards the Texas border, where he hopes CBP will give him a free bus ticket to Virginia
5. Mohamed, a waiter in Jeddah who has been reading up on Virginia history
6. Kim, a North Korean who has strong feelings about the state of government in Virgina

I think "reason" is something you are sorely lacking. Your not-at-all-intelligent quip is not even remotely equivalent and if you are unaware of of that, I feel very sorry for you.

Your level of bigotry and racism is unbelievable.

There it is... the reasoned, logical debate we have come to expect from the fringe left.

DP. Are you the poster who thinks that importing "rich" kids will somehow help improve a high school that is majority "poor" immigrants? If so, take a good, hard look in the mirror.

Bitter much?

Gatehouse should make the best use of facilities, giving weight to efficiency and budget.
If the Langley boundaries change due to that then whatever.

The Langley boundaries may well need to change in a few years based on capacity and logistical issues, but if that happens they'll still claim it's being done to "punish" them. Hopefully with Robyn Lady representing the district rather than Elaine Tholen, decisions will be based on the merits and not just a desire to place Langley's interests over everyone else's.

“still?”
Where/when did Langley parents protest possible boundary changes with the argument that the school board wanted to punish them for something?

As to hoping the latest Dranesville rep will advocate for boundaries based on the merits of different options (which will apparently be demonstrated only if she wants to alter boundaries in a way that you desire)
—- I am old enough to remember all the crowing about Jane Strauss not being around to “protect” the Langley boundaries anymore after Elaine was elected, and we see how that worked out for people emotionally invested in some drastic change.

+100
There is no rational discussion to be had with the PP, who continues to rant about schools which her children don’t even attend. Interesting how she’ll never disclose where her kids actually do go to school.

+1. Her social engineering crusade is truly pathetic at this point. She is likely as insufferable in real life as she is on this forum.

Are you sock puppeting or do all these Langley posters sound EXACTLY the same?

I mean people will point out that changes should only be made, if at all, if needed based on capacity and logistics, and you'll still flail away about "social engineering."

Report the post and claim it’s a sock puppet post. It’s not, but you can see for yourself that I’m a DP when the admin doesn’t remove it. On the other hand, I’m quite certain that you are a one woman social engineering crusader.

Honest question - do you think "social engineering" means anything that might run counter to the wishes of a Langley family? Because there may be valid reasons to move kids in and out of Langley at some point that bear no resemblance to what "social engineering" generally is understood to connote.

Perhaps, but her posts are of one flavor - to soak the “rich” Forestville families. She’s got a real chip on her shoulder about it, especially since, as the board member recently pointed out, redistricting is bad for all involved, especially poor students. Her hatred of Forestville is just that great, that she’d be willing to hurt Herndon students to stick it to Forestville.

I am in favor of doing everything we can to improve schools, but it really feels like a paternalistic “savior” move to do what she advocates.

Except multiple posters have said Forestville should only move if there’s a compelling logistical need to move it and you keep claiming we’re all the same poster with a “social engineering” agenda. It’s just very odd.

Any suggestion that has a whiff of possibly affecting certain schools in certain ways is labeled social engineering around here — even before the renovations over the past few years occurred. It is sad. Just wait until next year when standards based grading is applied to all schools.

Agreed. It’s like some posters are only capable of a knee-jerk reaction or aren’t very familiar with the English language. If anything potentially interferes with their expectations, it’s “social engineering.”

Sorry, just want to point out the blatant hypocrisy that comes with someone purportedly advocating for redistricting to paternalistically help Herndon High while also mocking posters because she feels that they don’t have a grasp of the English language. Bless your cognitive dissonance.

And then they go and piously call others "racist bigots." Pretty remarkable.
