[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Btw an equity mindset would mean[b] placing programs in schools that have gaps.[/b] Like if there are zero advanced science classes at a school, put a science program there.

They are doing the opposite. They are putting programs at schools that already have the classes. Then they proposing having certain kids from other schools get driven by their parents to their home school to take a bus to this school that already has these classes to take them. [/quote]

[b]Highlighted sentence is exactly the reason why SMCS was originally established at Blair.[/b] Wootton and Churchill kids sacrifice long bus ride for an excellent education, and kids living in DCC area also benefits from (Blair kids can freely take any magnet class as long as prerequisite is met and counselor approves). CO can move this program to Kennedy or Gaithersburg. It’ll still be excellent and filled with majority of W kids. They can add one more closer to Ws so to allow more access. Dismantling it completely and make 6…… that’s as crazy as it sounds like.[/quote]
No.
Keep repeating that same lie, doesn't make it true. 
The magnet was placed there to stem white flight. [/quote]

How racist you are. No matter what, Blair is being benefited from hosting magnet program, which is filled with majority of Asians. Will you create an “Asian flight” terminology to make it sounds less racist? Ultimately the majority of parents care about education quality and opportunities, not the skin of color.

And only let white-privileged HSs hosting future criteria-based programs? Taylor must be very much in the same mindset with you.[/quote]
You're stupid idiot. You clearly have no idea of what you're talking about.  Why don't you read on the history of SMCS at Blair before spewing out venons and manure. [/quote]

And this narrative about Blair SMCS and the [b]DCC[/b] being created to STEM white flight as a justification to dismantle them is a bizarre insinuation that the people who want to keep these programs are just racist white flighters.

White flight certainly occurs in part due to individual bias among White people but also because of a lack of resources in majority Black and Brown school communities relative to the need. Putting more resources in Wealthy White schools is not an anti-racist approach. Quite the opposite.[/quote]
No one said the DCC was created to stem white flight, that's your way of manipulating what was said. 
What was said: SMCS was placed at Blair to stem white flight. Which is true. [/quote]
