[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people on here really want to defund AAP; has about as much chance of ever happening as the Tea Party efforts to defund Obamacare. :lol:[/quote]

Hello idiot (#4today).  I think you are wrong here.  AAP is on its way out in the elementary schools.  And, by the way, the affordable care act is here to stay.[/quote]

I don't call people names, but[b] I seriously do not think AAP is on the way out anymore than Obamacare is on the way out[/b].  [/quote]

Sadly, probably not, but at least the Affordable Care Act is supported by a majority of the population. [b] Nor does it discriminate in who it provides services for like AAP[/b].  [/quote]

[b]I know I'm going to regret this but how does it discriminate? (I'm talking unlawful discrimination, not in the sense that it favors the smart kids). [/quote][/b]

Sorry, but was not talking about discrimination in the legal sense, as I'm no lawyer.  Although I'm sure FCPS's continuous efforts to adjust AAP entrance requirements to include more underrepresented African Americans and Latinos in AAP speaks to their fears about possibly crossing that line.

What I meant was it favors smart kids and those whose parents know how to work the system.   [/quote]

And it's also discriminatory (maybe not in the legal sense, but very much in the actual sense) to give one group of students certain benefits, but not the other.  Especially when the parents of ALL of these kids are paying the same amount in taxes to support these schools.  And if AAP parents were to switch places with the Gen Ed parents, you can bet they would feel exactly the same way.  [/quote]
