[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the record, please keep in mind the political aspect of such proposals, as this website probably skews somewhere 80 percent or more Democrat and with the website owner being a pretty big liberal hack. There are a significant chunk of conservatives/independents/self-interested democrats that will only support redistricting proposals if their individual school is strengthened, and it then becomes a numbers game. McLean/Chantilly/Centreville/South Lakes and to a far greater extent Herndon will vouch fervently on such grounds for a proximity formula that would not only relieve overcapacity but strengthen their schools. Those opposed would only include 1). a few disgruntled Great Falls/Forestville having to go from 5 percent FARMS Langley to 20 percent FARMS Herndon
2). Westfield's new base schools namely Cub Run, Deer Park, London Towne, Virginia Run, Bull Run, Brookfield 3). All those put in Hutchison HS

The ratio of supporters to dissenters would probably be somewhere around 3:1 and further aided in the fact that many that fall into category 3 are Hispanic noncitizen immigrants and thus ineligible to vote and get their voices heard, and those that are indeed citizens having low voter turnout and/or straight ticket voting democrats.

That is how I at least as a political moderate would sell this if I got put on the School Board.[/quote]

Remind me not to hire you as a political or educational strategist.

You’ve trotted out many tortured arguments and none seem very compelling or sophisticated, much less humane. [/quote]
