Oh please, learn to read between the lines. [b]Cohen specifically announced during the MGT meeting that she had just then received emails from Daventry parents, literally as the MGT consultant was presenting his PowerPoint, asking her not to reverse the boundary change back to Lewis. [/b]Cohen felt the need to publicly reassure them that wasn't happening to take some heat off her back. Call it what you will (classism, elitism, racism, or plain selfishness), but it's glaringly obvious that the reason the Board is so defensive on the topic of boundaries is because they all know the elephant in the room.

And in case you don't know the elephant in the room either: some communities clearly feel threatened that adjustments may lead to more ELL/FARMs populations in their catchment areas.[/quote]

No sweetie that was her lamenting that not enough poorer/limited English people engage with attempts to get their input in policy discussions. That was a recurring theme, and she provided an example in real time. At the 53:50 mark she expresses dissatisfied with who answered. At the 58 min mark she says she’s already gotten emails during the meeting (from well-off English speakers it is implied, I presume that is the predominantly makeup of Daventry).  She never said anything about the content of the emails you liar.

She mentioned Lewis at the tail end of her initial remarks as an example that differing programs affect operations and not just boundaries. She mentioned Key Center during those remarks as well.

I don’t even like most of this clown car but you don’t need to lie on them, the truth is bad enough.[/quote]

I am not a liar. The MGT consultant at 58:12 says "very rarely do you have anyone in the community raising their hand saying move me" and at 58:20, Cohen responds and literally says "I would say the 11 emails I've gotten from people from Daventry in the last 24 minutes that you've been talking, I definitely... um" and proceeds to change topic slightly to talk about consistency.

What else could concerned parents from Daventry be emailing her about as a boundary consultation is ongoing? It's obviously implied that their emails are about the boundary since they had most recently been switched from Lewis to WSHS.

I admit I can't find the comment where Cohen reassures the public that boundaries aren't changing and it was only a consultation, maybe it was a different member. I don't want to watch it all again.

Your original claim was a lie.

I could believe that people did email her with that specific request, but she announced no such thing.

Like I said, you don’t need to lie on the clown car. We have plenty of actual evidence of their nonsense.
