[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The town hall meeting was ugly.  But predjudices aside, can you imagine thst situation?  What if your kid's school was going to have a couple hindred new kids next term?  That aspect alone would be jarring.[/quote]

But can you imagine being the 12 year old African American girl who attended to town hall in preparation for coming to that school and listening to the awful shit those people were saying? Things like I want to know where the metal detectors and drug sniffing dogs will be. Things like the school was shut down because of fights/violence (obviously not true). Even still, can you imagine being that child's parent? I agree that overcrowding can be problematic, but those people were downright racist and heartless.[/quote]

Completely agree!  My heart went out to poor Maria.  I'm just saying it was a wild situation for everyone involved -- the students needing a competent school to attend, the whacked patents in the white district, and even the reasonable parents in the white district.  [/quote]
