[quote=Anonymous]MoCo has become, as Doug Gansler so ineloquently put it in the recent debate, a "majority minority county." Whites are a minority now, and minorities have growing power in politics. They've (rightly) made it an issue, IMO, because the schools are insanely segregated, and black and Latino kids are not doing as well statistically. Part of this is SES but part of it is the overall school culture and treatment of minority kids. There are still more suspensions, more discipline, more expulsions of minority children. They can't do much about the SES disparity and impact, but they can do their part to ensure equitable treatment of all kids on their end. And after watching them testify ad nauseam this year during many budget sessions, I am convinced they are clueless about the issue. [/quote]
