[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not talking about the kids, I'm talking about the parents. They don't value diversity, so fine. Make W & Y as segregated as can be. It's not great for the kids, but parents are making that choice when they buy in those neigborhoods.

The SB could choose any of the options it's been presented with and the NArl kids would cope just fine if the parents helped them rather than whining. [/quote]

The Williamsburg families haven't been calling for greater segregation, [b]they haven't opposed sending more planning units to Williamsburg [/b]to increase diversity. Everyone else has attributed that to them to provide a strawman, but it's not grounded in fact. At all.[/quote]

Again, they are happy to have other kids bussed.  They aren't stepping forward to say "hey, this is important.  My kid currently gets on a bus to go from CC Hills to Williamsburg.  If you'll send a busload or two from south Arlington up here, we'll gladly send our kids down to Kenmore to help balance things out."

This is the point that everyone continues to make - everyone is fine with diversity, as long as the movement of kids to achieve it doesn't impact their own kids.  If you aren't willing to bus your own kids, then it's patronizing to sit back and say that you'll gladly accept some of those poor, brown kids coming into your local school.[/quote]
