[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering the fools that were elected to the school board because no one took the election seriously, I’d say that the county is in trouble.
Those people aren’t qualified to do anything, much less change boundaries.

The whole county wide policy of segregating Latino immigrants into the Wheaton and Silver Spring areas to increase their bargaining power (Casa) and increase their access to services like year round schooling, Saturday school, summer school, legal services, healthcare services, housing and housing aid, etc, is a chosen policy . You can’t then twist it around and say that ‘white people’ are practicing segregation. If the county wants new immigrants to be schooled with a more mixed population then you have to have housing opportunities for them in those communities. You can’t start busing kids.

Though honestly they do already bus ‘rich’ kids as they cut the magnet programs in the so called rich areas and put them all in the Silver Spring and Wheaton areas. [/quote]

Wait...WHAT??!! You think residential segregation began with Casa de Maryland? Are you forgetting years of racist red-lining in housing policy, not to mention formal and informal housing covenants that forbade sale of homes in certain communities to PoC? Not to mention the ways in which those communities are just plain uncomfortable for even middle class and upper middle class Black families, given that you are likely to have the cops called on you while out walking your dog?

I'm aghast at the lack of historical context in this post. [/quote]

I'm guessing that the top PP supported -- or was --  a losing candidate in the past BoE election.[/quote]
