What a foolish person you are.  Think about what MCPS is doing.  "Oh, it's not our fault for NOT focusing on basics and academics and treating all students equally, by merit alone, and without regard to the color of their skin or socioeconomic background!"

Put yourself in the parent's shoes.  Would you deliberately put your child in a crappy school so that some crazy person can act out on their equity fantasies using taxpayer dollars?  Why would you deliberately choose to place your child in a public school system that holds White and Asian or high-SES kids back by giving only the best tutoring and programs based on their skin color of whether they're on FARMS?  Don't be an idiot.  Of course they'll pull out, as well as lobby politicians for vouchers (and donate to those campaigns).  And once the vouchers are issued, who's budget do you think they'll cut?

MCPS CO and the Board are also idiots to think that they can bring "equity" by redrawing boundaries or reassigning schools.  Parents, family, and their neighborhood impact the situation as well.  Unless Wolffe plans to hold their hand at the dinner table or hang out in the parking lots past 8 PM to tell the kids to go indoors and get a good night's sleep for class tomorrow, or tuck the kids in before 10 PM and tell the parents to turn off the music / TV, I don't think MCPS will really bring about the "social change" they think it can do.

MCPS better wake up and smell the coffee.  They're on the road to ruin.[/quote]
