[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please keep in mind that there is a strong group of parents at Lafayette that is fighting to get OOB right taken from EotP residents. They do not want children from EotP going to Lafayette, Deal, and Wilson. They want you out and will not stop until they get their way. One just had a meeting with the Mayor.[/quote]

Come on.  Think about this for a minute.  Even a politically connected group of parents from Ward 3 can not out weigh the hundreds of OOB parents at schools WOTP and the thousands across the city that would stand behind them out of fear of being next. And let's be clear- this is not a Black/White issue anymore. High SES, politically connected EOTP white parents are using the OOB system. Put them together with the politically connected high SES AA parents who have historically used OOB, and you have an ugly battle on your hands that no politician wants to deal with.  Besides, do you really think Bowser would go for this? That meeting was a royal waste of time.[/quote]

I am just saying there is a vocal group of Lafayette parents waging war. Not saying they will win (I clearly hope not!). They want EotP kids out of WotP schools and are actively campaigning to make it so.[/quote] Is there evidence of this? In what way are these parents doing this? Is Lafayette even wotp?[/quote]
