Duh.  Magnets are schools within schools.  Minorities whine that there are very few of their demographic in the magnet.  So, open up the magnet to anyone who wants it.  As the kids are brought in to jerrymander the demographic make up more begin to fail.  The end result is standards are diminished.  At a school where there are large numbers of least prepared kids the standards are lowered to a level that is below what you would see at a "W" school.

That is how you kill magnets.[/quote]

Most of the magnets actually are open to anyone who wants them. There are only a few magnets in MCPS where you have to test in.

Also, I don't think it's possible to gerrymander a demographic make-up.

Also, how dare those minorities whine about the public school system, I guess.

Starr definitely has a habit of talking when he should not talk, but no, MCPS is not going to "kill the magnets," and MCPS is also not going to get rid of zoned schools. It would be politically impossible for Starr to do either of those things, even if he wanted to.[/quote]
