Correct. I know many liberal and moderate people who have moved there for the HS. My child goes to the magnet program and we love the quietness of the area.  Loads of BLM yard signs everywhere.

[b]There are conservatives, but these are not the hardcore extreme right Proud Boy QAnon Trumpers.[/b]  Mostly people welcome the diversity that the magnet students bring.  Also, they are mostly involved in the local politics and advocacy for trying to get county services to  their town.

White Ferry will be opened again by the end of the month. It has been bought by another family. [/quote]

If the standard is, "Most of the Republicans in Poolesville did not personally participate in the armed insurrection on January 6 and also do not believe in fire-causing Jewish space lasers," then yes, that's true. They're not Connie Morella Republicans, though. It's also true that Poolesville was the only place in Montgomery County with overt trouble when Poolesville schools integrated in September 1956, and [b]that aspect of Poolesville is also still there[/b].

There is no guarantee that White's Ferry will be open by the end of the month. A businessman who owns a moving company in Loudoun County has an agreement to buy the property and operation on the Maryland side, but he still has to reach an agreement with the people on the Virginia side.

Probably. Maybe. Sometimes you do not know that bad behavior is due to racism or because people are jerks.  Still a lot of older rural White folks are leaving because they are getting good price for their land.  in the end, this is still MoCo.  I live with the hope that the racists will just die of old age and that will be the end of it.  Newer transplants do try and make a more amiable and inclusive neighborhood.  More than racial divide, I think there is a class divide there now.
