[quote=Anonymous]There is a very condescending, pandering attitude taken by our county board in regards to the south western part of the county. It's sickening to me.
I heard Libby Garvey had made some idiot comment about what those poor people on Colimbia Pike were going to do without foodstar!!! And I don't think she meant just during the construction phase. 
Jeez Libby, I don't know??? Shop at the Safeway or Giant or whatever grocery they put in that new development.

Like these are stray puppies we have to Sheppard and corral together. 
That's not liberal! That's not progressive!
Immigrant communities are better served when they integrate, and if you are unconvinced of that- just check out how well segregating Muslim populations in France is going.

It's very telling to me to have first hand knowlegde and experience with a school - and not take away a deeper understanding of the intrinsic challenges it faces. You can still acknowledge that learning is happening, the kids are sweethearts, and the staff is outstanding. But if you want to be the one setting policy, I'm gonna want to hear something deeper and more critical.

Being a constant cheerleader for our poor and immigrant communities feels good, but is totally lacking in substance.
