[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole school boundary discussion is a sh*tshow of not so thinly veiled nativism and "immigrant invasion" paranoia. Bravo to all of you.

"Hispanics generally have more children" as someone said.. you really should hear how racist that sounds when you say it out loud.[/quote]

DP.  I'm not the poster who said that and I am not a racist.  I'm a realist.  Some of the schools in Easter Fairfax are over 50 percent Hispanic kids from families where many parents speak very little English.  Of course this is going to impact the quality of the schools.  Why is it racist to say that that has contributed to some of the academic decline of FCPS?  I think FCPS needs to figure out how to better support these kids to help reverse some of the decline.  That's a heavy lift, though.  The achievement gap for economically disadvantaged kids has been an age old problem, and the ESOL issue compounds it.  [/quote]

You sound quite racist.  [/quote]

NO, you're just name calling to try to silence inconvenient truths that are being stated neutrally, or as a justification for spending even more money on disadvantaged kids. Sorry if the truth makes you feel icky or unclean talking about it, but facts often do that.[/quote]
