[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good luck busing rich people’s kids to ghetto schools like Einstein or Kennedy when they could simply move a few miles away to a completely different  jurisdiction like fairfax. Or simply opt for private.

How about this crazy idea, how about the few wealthy minorities not move to poor already dense minority areas and be the ones who send their kids to the rich white schools?  [/quote]

Your post is inscrutable.[/quote]

I had to read PP's post multiple times, but I *think* PP is suggesting that rich Black/Latinx move to historically white communities. As to why many Black and Latinx families might not feel comfortable doing so, I refer them to a wealth of documentation around racist incidents at historically white schools in the area, including testimony from kids of color in front of the school board regarding racist harassment that they endure at so-called W schools.

Yes, it's well documented that the segregated schools mostly in the western part of the county are fairly hostile to minorities. There has been an unprecedented number of racist incidents at the W's this past year that's been [b]well documented on this board[/b].[/quote]

"[b]well documented on this board[/b]." is not something to be taken seriously.

The facts of that matter were clear cut and published by the county. There was little room for interpretation. Point being the segregated schools only appear good because they exclude low income students but when you compare comparable SES students they really don't look so great. [/quote]

My point is also clear: if you want to say these documents are well documented, that is fine (people may ask you about the source). But saying "well documented on this board" is more or less meaningless.
