Looks like another lawsuit against MCPS is coming...

But I don't see how intervening here suits them politically. It doesn't help them in Montgomery County and this isn't an issue with national interest.

It’s a layup right in the administration’s backyard and a chance to embarrass Jamie Raskin and possibly Wes Moore (who has national ambitions). DOJ doesn’t have to intervene - it just needs to open an investigation.

You are way too caught up in your own feelings here. It doesn't "embarrass" Jamie Raskin that a school district may or may not have fully communicated with the parents of Emerging and Multilingual Language learners, or at least not with the Trump base.

You think a predominantly Asian Asian complaint about not being able to maintain a plurality Asian American school, but instead having to attend school with rural white students is going to fly with the people who elevate these issues onto MAGA's radar?

It wouldn't really "embarrass" Montgomery County or MCPS, and would risk angering true conservatives in other parts of the country as improper federal interference in local affairs. This administration can only piss off conservatives so much. This wouldn't help to expand their political support, nor does where MCPS puts a school matter to the MAGA base.

If you're expecting a MD judge to compel remedy by printing 300 mil and jiffy pop a High School, I'd suggest easing up on the reefer.

Bruh OCR MSDE complaints aren’t the same thing as filing a lawsuit. 😂 respectfully, as attorney, I can’t even address what you said cuz it makes zero sense

And you think that this won't be appealed, the can kicked down the road, until the school is opened?

Not sure if you remember. but that was the MCPS tactic that dragged out the Magnet lottery lawsuit that ended, oh, idk, 3'ish years later? And what did the judge say? Oh, right, moot point. Move along, nothing to see here.

The PP is so desperate to be right (and clearly isn’t a lawyer). This isn’t how litigation works. If a judge grants an injunction, MCPS can try to appeal it, but good luck with that. There is far less harm to MCPS in allowing Wootton to remain where it is (for now) than MCPS would suffer in opening Crown at below capacity. Even then, MCPS has the ability to fill Crown with plenty of kids from other schools, just not those from Wootton.

Also, if the City of Rockville joins in the case or files a friend of the court brief, the judge is quite likely to issue a temporary injunction. MCPS can plan for closing and moving Wootton - it just wouldn’t be able to actually do it until the case is resolved.

It's a civil rights complaint over language translations. -The most likely positive outcome for the complainants is MCPS providing translations in more languages. Not an injunction forcing kids into an unsafe school.

Right. MCPS might be ordered to conduct listening sessions with translation into Vietnamese moving forward, but the lawsuit isn't going to end in MCPS not moving the school, because changing school boundaries/attendance is fully within the rights of a school district, as settled law.

But it must conduct those before accepting the recommendation.

That's not how these kinds of complaints have played out in similar situations. Things will continue to move forward, and MCPS's obligations, if any, would apply to future communications.

Doing this as a civil rights complaint appears to be an implicit acknowledge that they don't have a legal case. Will they even file this in federal court or just write to the Department of Education?

It’s only one group at Wootton bringing this - the Asian community. There are other groups organizing based on regulatory grounds. Can MCPS fight on multiple fronts? Does the BOE really wants do that in an election year? Some BOE members are running for higher office.

Ding ding ding.

Trust me, the lawsuit is coming.
To the idiots who say if they are filing complaints, they must not have good grounds for a lawsuit right?
No you dipshit. A lawsuit needs ripeness. That comes after the vote. And…you best believe those motions are already prepared.
The complaints can before the vote.

If people think MCPD isn’t about to be hit with an avalanche on all sides…yall lol are just clueless.

Sure, if that layup is during warmups before anyone is watching. And then you miss the layup anyway.

I'm just baffled and maybe a little saddened by the idea that Wootton folks think the Trump Administration is going to save them. Do they really think that the administration who is perfectly fine arresting Hmong men in their bathrobes is going to take up the cause of the Asian American community? Moreover, that the SPEAK ENGLISH contingent is going to worry about whether Vietnamese immigrants understood the boundary discussion?

Disparate impact is meritorious. You may not like it because Asians aren’t the “right” race to complain but governments are supposed to comply with Civil Rights law.

The loudest, most vocal and annoying demographic about this decision has been the very group that is filing this lawsuit. This lawsuit is bullshit and they know it. But they will use the Civil Rights Act, enacted on the backs of Black people, to advance their cause even if it hurts the people that gave them the right to sue. For example, see the Supreme Court affirmative action case. And I hope this bites them in the ass just like the Supreme Court decision did. Mark my word, they WILL lose.

Thank you. Out of one side of their mouth, “We are the smartest demographic at Wootton and if it wasn’t for us, Wootton wouldn’t have its outstanding reputation!” And then out of the other side of their mouth, “We are too illiterate and dumb to understand the boundary process!”

Pick a position and stick to it
