[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Loved the old guy from Maywood last night who spoke up about diversity now that his kids are all grown up. From Lilly white Maywood, classic. [/quote]

Jackwagon, he has kids in school currently. He's a respected member of the community and co-chair of the Arlington Civic Federation School's Committee. Also, if he's been in Arlington long enough it's entirely possible that he's watched the area he lives in and the schools his home is zoned to become less and less diverse. He's allowed to feel how he feels. [/quote]

He has kids that will be in MS? My impression was that he did not, if I m wrong then I apologize. If his kids are out of middle school then, he really shouldn't be trying to social engineer on the back of other parents.

You can't deny that Maywood had been super white forever... it in fact tends to run more conservative than a lot of the surrounding area, so I guess he is encouraging diversity by being one of the liberals there?  He didn't choose to live in a diverse neighborhood, and if his kids are part MS that is poor form. [/quote]

I know him, his wife is Latina so he actually is a diversity element to Maywood, kinda. Most people don't care about racial diversity, it's economic diversity which is divisive. So though his kids added racial diversity, I suspect they were not economically diverse since his home is about $900k[/quote]
