[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the big deal about redrawing school boundaries to increase diversity? Or busing? Or really anything that the school district could do to lessen the segregation of the schools? Is your expensive house really going to suddenly drastically drop in value? Should it matter if the market value of your house does drop? Will it lead to massive white flight to... somewhere else? I just really don't think it would be that big of a deal to have the schools become a little more reflective of the socioeconomic and racial diversity of our area. As some posters have pointed out, their schools already are diverse. I'm sure the sky wouldn't fall if more schools were like those. Honestly, who doesn't value and benefit from a diverse student population?[/quote]

Let's please have the county pay for more diversity by advertising incentives for folk to move to our great county from other places. Once they are here, let's heavily subsidize them to ensure they are happy and bring everyone they know.  MoCo is a kind and gracious place, and can look after the U.S.'s unemployed and under-employed because we have great revenues from our over achieving population.

Then for the people who are working hard and paying taxes - either income taxes or very high property taxes (driven by their school districts), let's make MoCo even less appealing by telling them we are redrawing school boundaries so their children have to go to less-well performing schools, or so that they pay even more to go to private schools. This way, eventually all high tax payers will leave, and we can all be happy.[/quote]
