[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Under that contiguous argument, it would be much easier, use Connecticut Ave and East West Hwy as boundary lines.

Problem then is half of Chevy Chase would go to Westland with Bethesda and Somerset, and there would be zero diversity.  [/quote]
And...? I don't see how this is a problem.

The issue is that we are debating diversity within a cluster. It all seems a bit silly to me when the biggest diversity issue is between clusters. Cluster boundaries themselves are now effective redlining. RM vs. Wooton for example is a disgrace. We should not be concerned about less diversity in ESs or MSs within a cluster because all the kids will end up in the same place at some point anyway. If MCPS were actually concerned about diversity, it would bus across clusters or gerrymander boundaries to even it out. But it doesn't. So i am not concerned about whether or not Westland is 68% white while MS#2 is 58%. This is completely irrelevant to me at least, if we are really concerned about diversity. But the truth is that we are not and the current cluster boundaries prove it.
