The racist South Fairlington parents ruined any chance at unity. I no longer want to live in the same county as them.[/quote]

Elitist behavior was certainly not limited to South Fairlington. It needs to be pointed out they fought to stay at an ok school with a 47% FRL rate, as opposed to those fighting to stay at a blue ribbon school with a 28% FRL rate. [/quote]

Still, everybody seem fine with Barcroft, Randolph, and Carlin Springs and the kids attending those schools being left behind. I don't believe the "tipping point" is always 40% fr/l. But it's clear from test scores and transfer rates and people cheering about being moved or possibly being moved out of some zones that some schools are really struggling and the kids at those schools, all of them, do not have access to the same opportunities. And yet, not only aren't the boundaries helping the fr/l rates to go down marginally at those schools, but they are pushing them way up in the case of Barcroft. It's disgusting. It's disgusting to think that a school that's already 60% fr/l won't be negatively impacted if they go even higher. They absolutely will. And it's going to be the kids whose families can't make other choices who will be most affected. [/quote]
