It is up to the State Board of Education, then a federal judge...[/quote]

A federal judge? Only if somebody files a lawsuit in federal court.

MCPS used FARMS rate to redistrict in Upcounty. The county-wide boundary analysis is focused on Ever-FARMS. FARMS rate is a good proxy for race in Montgomery County. Ever-FARMS is an even better one. With the number of lawyers living in this county, what do you think of the chance of this case reaching a federal court?[/quote]

Using FARMS is perfectly legal. It would have been ILLEGAL to rezone specific kids, but they didn't. They rezoned [b]entire schools[/b]. Folks can throw money at this, and they can accept "legal support" from PACs affiliated with white supremacist organizations, but they are spitting in the wind. They will lose.  [/quote]

Entire DIVERSE schools (or entire DIVERSE areas - since Cabin Branch does not yet have its own elementary school).[/quote]
