[quote=Anonymous]First, those of you bickering about DC public schools should move that discussion to the DC schools forum.  Your discussion has nothing to do with Howard County or the topic of this thread.

Yep, but I am not surprised. 
HoCo is one of the areas that people who wished for a MoCo of 1970's move to.[/quote]

Some of you are looking at the current snapshot as if it were fixed in stone.  In reality, Howard County has traditionally been a very white county, but it has been evolving over time.  It is following Montgomery County by about 10 years based on the statistics.  So Hoco in 2018 is like Moco in 2010, Hoco in 2010 is like Moco in 2000, and so on.
