[quote=Anonymous]This is a terrible fight to have because MCPS is never going to break into smaller districts. However, it does provide an opportunity for some historical discussion of why we have county-wide districts. In general, southern, agrarian, states have county-wide school districts. In general, norther, metropolitan, states have smaller districts. In both cases, though, the existing systems perpetuate and reinforce racial and economic segregation. In districts like MCPS, segregation was upheld through housing covenants and red-lining. By the time those covenants were deemed illegal, the racial wealth gap had become so vast that they were almost no longer needed. [/quote]
