School Boundaries and "One Fairfax"

If you have plenty of money and are well educated, they do not care about race.

Is that racism or is that practicality, given how many resources are taken away to pander to the Hispanic illegal base? Is it wrong to not want your kids going to school with gangs?

Trust me I can feel your stares from a mile away, you are not welcoming of a more diverse community at all

I hate to break it to you, but no one is staring at you from miles away or thinking about you at all.

What makes some schools highly rated?

Is the school board not providing proper programming and funding to the lower-ranking schools?

What makes some schools highly rated?

Test scores which are directly related to SES.

Yes, we are not thinking about you at all.

No. But, according to DS, the gangs pretty much limit their mischief to those of their own race. But, it is troubling that all kids cannot be safe from them. That's the problem with gangs. And, shipping them all over the county is not going to help. It will insulate them more.

Any discussion about the Langley boundaries certainly highlights resentment of those who are angry that it doesn't have a high enough percentage of FARMs, Hispanic and African American kids. If these people were really happy about the demographics at their schools they would be bragging about how it makes them superior.

Like the host of Reston impact, they feel that Langley is nearly all "cream of the crop upper income whites" and it makes them mad. Very racist.

“Pander to Hispanic illegal base”??? That is the most ridiculous statement. People who are here illegally are at the bottom of the ladder when it comes to rights. No one is “pandering” to them, especially considering their illegal status makes them ineligible to vote.

White liberal racism is the best kind of racism.

There are many brown people at Langley, just not the right type of brown.

You can't tell these racist liberals that. As far as they are concerned high test scores and financial stability makes people white.

Precisely this. And they truly are racists. All they see and all that matters to them is the color of one’s skin.

Stop spreading lies, I live in a wealthy White community (McLean) and this is not the sentiment at all. The elementary my kids go to is 42% minority, school has a great community, parents are nice and involved. We are POC (South Asian) so I guess I know what I am talking. People here in McLean are welcoming of a diverse community, this myth that people living in expensive neighborhoods don't welcome diversity is just a myth. My kids are friends with all sorts of kids, White, Brown, Black.

Also, diversity doesn't not mean Black and Hispanic but in your mind that's all diversity is about.
