[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep it’s overtly racist. Some even use scare quotes for the word “bussing.” Do people in our well-educated cluster really not know the history of post-Brown v Board? TL/DR: the racists didn’t want their kids bussed for integration. They didn’t want their white kids going to school with black kids. They wanted to remain segregated. School boundaries in the decades that followed were purposefully drawn so as NOT to only include geographically close neighborhoods. The whole point of integration was to intentionally create school boundaries that fostered diversity by including dissimilar and incongruous neighborhoods. And here we are in 2026 with the walkers saying Wootton should not only not expand to include more students at the new Crown, but also that some feeders should be removed from the cluster as too far away. This is all for their selfish goals - not what is best for our kids. [/quote]

If you are so passionate about this why aren’t you pushing for This to happen at Whitman, which is way less diverse than Wootton. Or do you only care about it happening at Wootton and nowhere else? Why do you think that is?[/quote]

Wootton families don't want any students of color - black or hispanic, except they may make an exception for high income or IQ.  That is what is concerning.  Its not really about the move to Crown but self-segregating.[/quote]
We oppose the closure to protect students and community, not because of race. Attacks on Wootton seem to be escalated today. Wanting to keep the location is being unfairly labeled as racists. [/quote]

What are you trying to "protect" students from? And what do you find so threatening about interacting with people from outside your current "community"?

When you say things like that, you might as well just own it.[/quote]

DP  this tactic doesn’t work anymore. 2020 called. They want their “argument” back.

You know that Wootton has been an anchor of the current community for 55 years. You don’t like the demographics of that community.  You know why, but you won’t admit it. So, you might as well own that too.[/quote]
