[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for something objective, note that MCPS considers 4 miles a "far" distance to school, and that distance only occurs in much less dense areas of the county.

the distance from Farmland ES to Kennedy is something like 6.5 miles.[/quote]

But the cost of sticking it to west county is priceless. That is what is driving most of the east county oh but we care about people and you just want to hoard BS[/quote]

notably, option 3 buses lots of kids far distances.  It isn't just west county.

but I agree that just wanting to see people hurt for not benefit is not a good look.  [/quote]

I don't want anybody to get hurt. I do think laying bare the entitlement and resource hoarding of certain individuals in our community is pretty interesting.

Yes, a 6+ mile bus ride seems excessive and not worth the squeeze but it is hardly catastrophic. I doubt they will do it but some of the reactions on here are hysterical.[/quote]

Performative liberalism hurts the causes you claim to care about.

[b]Which leads me to wonder if you actually care about those causes or if instead you are more driven by a need to stick it to people while cloaking your arguments in moralistic language.[/b] In a way it is very maga of you![/quote]

This exactly.[/quote]

Lol of course you don't want people calling out how ridiculous and selfish you sound, but I am only doing what is best for you. It does not help your cause to be histrionic about bus rides (yeah it would not be ideal but come on) or paternalistic towards low income kids.[/quote]

lol you are doing what's best for us.  While calling us paternalistic.  Ok.[/quote]

Exactly. So lame. I can speak for myself thanks. And since I know my kids, I am best positioned to advocate on how changes, including long bus rides, will impact them. This person will just double down on the anti-west county rhetoric because that is how they find entertainment and satisfaction. [b]So much of local politics is driven by that sentiment to the detriment of the county.[/b][/quote]

Omg you need to learn about local history[/quote]

I have. I just think that the approach of sticking it to west county achieves nothing.

WUSA9 is reporting on a new program from Governor Moore: the launch of the Just Communities program, which will direct $400 million in state funding to historically disadvantaged communities that have faced discriminatory housing practices, including redlining and appraisal bias.

That is action. It acknowledges the history and the problem and it does something tangible about it. It doesn’t waste time and good will endlessly painting people from one part of the county (most of whom voted for Moore, support this approach, and vote for progressive politicians up and down the ballot who want to close the opportunity gap) as segregationist, racist, hoarding, and hysterical about bussing [/quote]

Demanding the government prop up property values created by segregation is a segregationist position. Demanding you get to unilaterally decide the outcome of this boundary study because one time you were surveyed and you magnanimously allowed taxpayers to fund a new school building is resource hoarding. These attitudes have appeared multiple times on this thread.[/quote]

Telling people who actually support policy and politicians who want to close the opportunity gap that they are hoarding and segregationist because they don’t want their kids on a long bus ride is a really good example of why Trump was elected and the Democrats are in the wilderness. But hey it makes you feel morally superior so you do you.[/quote]
