Actually the more likely conclusion is that the way the law is constructed, anyone can vote for any school district; so this helps to boost the Apple Ballot slate.  Remember that if everyone could only vote for At-Large and THEIR OWN Districts, there might be a better outcome than what we have now.  (And if Steve Austin ran again, yes, I would vote for him!)

I noticed that your argument is "all-or-nothing".  People want proximity over diversity, but not to say that they're necessarily against diversity - just that it shouldn't Trump proximity.  It was a cute smear attempt though.[/quote]
While I don't think anyone is against diversity, if its a choice between diversity or proximity, the boundary analysis was clear - people overwhelmingly prefer proximity. [/quote]

[b]But of course that's not a real choice since you can have both.[/b][/quote]

The poster is just fearmongering by presenting a false choice. They likely have a larger political agenda.

If you mean the agenda of keeping my kids in [b]the schools they are currently assigned to (schools very near our home)[/b] instead of having them bused far from home so that woke lunatics can feel like white saviors then yes.[/quote]

Depends on what "very near" means. If you live in the walk zone, you're fine. If you're in a neighborhood that's currently bussed, then there may be other reasonable options that aren't "far from home."

Thank you for being honest.  If a kid is a walker they'll probably remain a walker.  If they take the bus, the BOE has no problem extending their bus ride another 20 minutes so they'll have the opportunity to sit next to kids who aren't like themselves which is just another way of saying busing aka diversity busing.  Former BOE member Jeanette Dixon even said this out loud during a meeting last year.[/quote]
