[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We will never get anywhere with an us vs them mentality. [/quote]

It's not a mentality. The difference in how the east vs west were treated in the second round of options for the Woodward study was immediately apparent. And removing the DCC, which allows students to access coursework that west county students have at their home schools, is a double punch to families.

I get that pointing out differences in treatment is uncomfortable but the differences are real.[/quote]

You’re missing the point of the above post. The first round also kept Whitman mostly intact and, to the extent that it impacted B-CC, it was primarily the east part of the cluster, where the lower-income families in the B-CC cluster live (yes, there are hundreds of FARMS families at B-CC!). You weren’t bothered by it then because at least “the west” was affected. [/quote]

At least on DCUM they were actually gleeful about hurting west county people.[/quote]

They were responding to blatantly racist posters who claimed to represent west side schools (and nobody claiming to be from the west side expressed any issues with the racism)[/quote]

Untrue.  There was plenty of concern for the FARMS kids that would be zoned to BCC but were suddenly being bused past BCC to Whitman.
