[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect the comment was viewed as offensive because it used FARMS as a noun. [/quote]

Oh dear god. He actually said it was racist because of assumptions I made about FARMS kids which are actually just data, and are directly spoken of by the PTA in a Post article, but whatever. Live in whatever world pleases you.[/quote]

and you assume I"m a "he". Is that because I have a doctoral degree or run a company?

Again, back to facts. nationally, poverty is a white issue. Your racist assumptions are false and I call you out for what you are. Yes, I"m a outlier...and I want the outliers in ARL to thrive. I want you to leave. [/quote]

I probably assumed you were a "he" because you started out your response with "holy crap" and generally made a lot of irrational, reactive assumptions. In my experience women tend to be more measured and less reactive. But you're right, it was not a good assumption. My bad.

Generally, you've criticized my post on the basis of

1) racism, despite race not being mentioned or even implied
2) incorrect use of pronouns
3) straw men based on things at the national level when we're only talking about Arlington
4) faulty generalization that your own unique situation has any bearing on problems and outcomes typical to Arlington schools

You've yet to respond to the actual argument I made, or refuted any of its premises, so I'll have to assume at this point that you can't.
