[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that the one of the most highly taxed school pyramids has such a dumpy middle and high school building. not to mention overcrowded elementary schools?

Should this be the priority over all else? I mean cooper and langley are / have gotten major renovations and expansions ?

Mclean high looks like a 3rd work slum school[/quote]

OP has asked a simple question: “why?”

Eleven pages of discussion in response to OP's question, and virtually no one will answer the question, "why?"

The McLean pyramid has crappy buildings because the FCPS school board is dominated by extreme-progressives who look down on the McLean pyramid as benefitting from "white privilege" or "Asian privilege."  Therefore, they consciously deprive McLean of resources and keep pushing it down the renovation queue, since they believe over-privileged Mclean does not deserve to be renovated.

The county superintendent is in ideological lock-step with the school board's extreme progressive view.

And everyone at Gatehouse views McLean the same way: rich and privileged Asian and white McLean does not deserve any resources, nor the renovation it desperately needs.

This is what the SB, Reid, and Gatehouse mean when they repeatedly say:  “we put equity first and above all else.”  Their interpretation of equity means McLean comes last in all things they control.

Now you know “why.”

You are voting against your own interests if you live in the McLean pyramid and vote for a democrat for school board this November. [/quote]
