[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is going to go to RH and the middle school.  As if I wasn't displeased enough with the racist experiment known as RH.  Time and time again, court decisions from the Supreme Court on down have dictated that school admissions be color blind, yet the County has commonly bragged about how they assign little children from wide and far to attend RH simply for reasons of skin color or whether they get free and reduced meals.  For example, my kid has 5 elementary schools closer to our house in Bethesda than RH (some of them half as far) yet she is forced to double her commutes by going to RH so that she can accommodate this experiment.

It'll be interesting to see how disparate impact measures taken on by the state board of education are implemented at RH and the new middle school.  Disparate impact means that public school administrators in Maryland are being forced to take an assailants race into consideration (in other words racism) when determining how to punish them.

It's just gets uglier and uglier.[/quote]

I'll quibble with this to say that taking race into account is not the same as racism, which is a belief that some races are inherently superior to others. I can't see how busing children to RH to achieve some kind of balance has anything to do with believing one race is superior to others. [/quote]
