[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is against a boundary change based on geographic reasons.  Why would you live in MoCo if you are a racist?  Plenty of places to live if you only want to be with your own. What people are annoyed by is putting diversity as the number one priority - which the board did without public comment.

Then the Board hires a company that only has done diversity realignments - not boundary studies based on geography.

Then - even though you can buy a house anywhere in the county the extreme liberals say it is segregated ([b]although county does nothing about actually changing this at a housing policy level[/b]). So rational folks from all backgrounds are seeing this for what it is - pols in a one party state trying to get a promotion by motivating their base.  Nothing more.  Finally squishy evidence that having a bright kid sit next to a new immigrant helps the new immigrant at all.[/quote]

County does nothing?! Where have these people been when droves of PTAs came out to testify at public hearings AGAINST plans that would allow for more diverse housing types to be built? Where was the outcry for more inclusive housing patterns, when the very plans to address some of those housing issues were getting targeted by the ‘involved parents’ who couldn’t stomach the idea of more kids from certain housing types being let into their ‘high quality’ schools?
