[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As with many DCUM threads there are two different and unrelated things being argued (plus the regular cabal of fools who post nonsense). One group argues that Deal and Wilson are over-enrolled, that reducing the number of students in attendance would alleviate the problems associated with that overcrowding, and that overcrowding could be addressed by ending OOB feeder rights. A different group argues that ending OOB feeder rights disproportionately hurts economically disadvantaged students, many of whom come from poorer neighborhoods. You can't possibly come to agreement because they aren't mutually exclusive. The issue is one of public policy, and that's the real disagreement and discussion that needs to be had. Scarcity of resources means we can't provide everything to everyone, so as a society we need to figure out what we value more (which I would point out doesn't mean we don't value everything - that's the red herring that gets used on DCUM a whole lot).

But I will call BS on the people who seem afraid to have the public policy argument and fall back on silly and illogical statements. [/quote]

The SJW need to get their talking points straight

Most of them keep crowing about neighborhood schools
WOTP is getting to the point where it could be almost all neighborhood schools
But that is somehow wrong because there aren't enough at-risk/black/brown kids

So SJW, what social engineering do you want exactly again[/quote]
