[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People want to be with their own kind- whether that be color, religion, SES level, etc... There is nothing wrong with that and the board needs to acknowledge that. Nobody wants to be the only "put whatever you want here" at a school or drastic minority. That includes hispanics and blacks and whites. People need to stop calling everyone who says this a racist.

That doesn't mean that there can't be some redistricting to neighboring schools to help balance the numbers, but nobody should need to be bussed just due to balancing race as there are so many other factors.[/quote]

So you are good with "separate but equal"?[/quote]

This is not the same as ‘separate but equal’.  Nobody is banning an Asian kid from going to Whitman.  Nobody is banning a Latino kid from Wootton.

We’re at a nonW cluster and don’t really want to move to a W school.  If MCPS could provide a solid education in every cluster, then this wouldn’t even be an issue.

Kids need a solid curriculum and we need a better disciplinary system across the county.  That would go a long way.  [/quote]

This is exactly separate but equal. Many are banned from attending good schools. This is why they need to build low-income housing in Potomac.[/quote]
