[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Also a URM here, and racism is indeed a reality in Fairfax County. Every time a school board member has reassured the public in a live meeting that boundaries are not changing (during the recent MGT boundary consultation, for example), they were s[b]pecifically addressing their racist constituents who choose schools to avoid URM/poverty populations at all costs.[/quote][/b]

Get rid of programs that allow parents to pupil place:  IB, for one.  Also, has there been any study done on the immersion programs?  Does this encourage PP for reasons other than a great desire for a foreign language?  Do many kids leave for AAP?  Do many PP in high school in order to continue the language?

I am sure there are many parents who pupil placed their kids from less desirable schools to more desirable schools through these special progams such as language and AP/IB. The AAP is another option for qualified students.  But is this necessarily bad?

For parents who cannot afford to move to a better school district or send their kids to private schools, this seems like a good option. [/quote]

And for those who can't FCPS is happy to leave you behind in your pariah school.  Hell, they may even expand a nearby school while your school is under-capacity just to drive home the message.

There is no bigger group of racists in NoVa than the Democrats on the FCPS School Board.  For bonus points, they layer hypocrisy on top of their racism. [/quote]
