[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever you may think of the issue at hand, it is inappropriate for an elected official to call all dissenters as racist.

There very well may be racists people—there always is—but that doesn’t mean every person who disagrees is racist.

In this case, people can’t even agree on what her comment was in reference to, which is yet another reason why her comment was inappropriate and unhelpful, regardless if it was in reference to the regional program or the boundary or both.

But assuming it was for the regional program. I actually think this new proposal will hurt lower-resource schools most of all. Take region 4: RM, Wootton, Churchill, Rockville.

Can anyone say with a serious face that more kids will go from the higher performing schools to Rockville HS? What’s really going to happen is a brain drain of kids going to higher performing schools. This isn’t going to help disparities. This will make things worse.

If the BoE wants to solve the actual issue of disparity, they should fix the root instead of calling dissenters racist.

+1. Regional programming is about to widening the disparity gap. Good job Rita! Maybe you should listen to dissenters instead of calling anyone who dares to disagree with you a racist.

Btw there’s a huge list of people who adamantly oppose the regional programming. Are they all racist? Per Rita Montoya, MCEA would be racist.[/quote]
