[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a blatant misrepresentation of what occurred and the author of this piece knows it. If you were watching that meeting, Mrs. Montoya spoke at great length about the current magnet system upholding systemic racism and frankly, seemed entirely disinterested in the boundary portion of the vote itself. When it came time for the vote, it was abundantly clear that Montoya was referencing the vote to uphold the current standard which historically has had minimal levels of participation from students who are not Asian or White. Please stop bullshitting and making this into something it is not, Ms. Sukhobok.[/quote]

Thanks for weighing in Rita, but your hot mic comment stands for itself  - that was a really honest moment for you.[/quote]

I’m not Rita but you’re right that is WAS an honest moment for her, it just wasn’t about what you claim it to have been about. It was saying that your racism is showing when you vote to uphold a system that has historically not served black and brown students.[/quote]

The DCC and NEC, which they abolished with that vote, serve majority Black and Brown students.[/quote]

Brown person here: you know we exist in places other than Silver Spring, right? You might want to sit down for this but I live in Potomac…can you believe it?

What does that have to do with the BOE's vote to dissolve the NEC and DCC?[/quote]

Let’s follow along here: my brown ass children cannot access the NEC and DCC programs from my Churchill cluster home. They dissolved these while they build the new model that all students will be able to access. Why don’t you want your kids or mine to have good programs here? What in the actual world is wrong with you?[/quote]

GMAFB. The notion that somehow DCC and NEC students have access to more than Churchill students is absurd.

DCC schools don't offer the breadth of coursework that schools like Churchill do. For example, just like Whitman and BCC, Churchill has its very own engineering program. No need for kids to travel to it. Neither Einstein, Northwood, Kennedy or Blair have an engineering program. With the DCC, kids could access the program at Wheaton, which also happens to be geographically close to the other schools. They also got bus transportation from their neighborhoods. Now, DCC kids will have to travel on their own to BCC for engineering, assuming they get selected in the lottery for it. [/quote]
