[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading through this thread, why are people so ticked at RCF families?  What do you expect them to do, advocate for something they don't want?  If I lived there, and someone asked me what middle school I want my kids to go to, I'd say the closer one.  Apparently a large portion of RCF wants to do that.  I understand that many think that opinion is misguided, but it is what it is.

Are you expecting RCF families to advocate instead for something they think is not as good for their families?  I mean, the other schools are advocating vehemently for their preferred option; why shouldn't RCF do the same?  It doesn't make them any more selfish than everyone else.[/quote]

You're absolutely right, but there is more than one community involved here, and those communities also have a right to advocate for their families.  No one objects to RCF advocating for itself and putting forth its best arguments, along with everyone else, resulting in a decision based on the merits.  The problem is that the unelected superintendent has decided that "some [issues] are more equal than others," effectively favoring one community over others (while placating the communities who, winding up in Westland, are unlikely to join the opposition).[/quote]
