[quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]You obviously don't know him or anything about his family. [/b]I'm not going to put it all out there, but you can figure it out if you try. In short, you're woefully uninformed.

And just so you know, social engineering is a term coined and primarily utilized by Conservatives, like you , and like James Lander (which may have been a big reason that the Dems primaried and then defeated him). Also filed under "social engineering": zoning, tax deductions, merit-based scholarships, tax-free inheritances. Pretty much everything that has historically benefited wealthy white folks. All of a sudden you don't like it? You seemed to like "social engineering," so long as you were the primary beneficiaries.

I don't blame the residents of Hall's Hill for wanting out of Williamsburg. But it has less to do with being able to walk and more to do with being able to get out of a toxic environment.

Every other speaker stated their current elementary school and projected middle school; he did not. So does he have kids that will be in middle school under the new boundary?[/quote]
