[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If W-L really had more in common with Wakefield than Yorktown, you'd expect W-L and Wakefield to have the big rivalry.  That's not the case. Yorktown and W-L are the big rivals, and Wakefield has always been the neglected stepsister.  I'm sorry, PP, but you are  just another poster looking  for reasons to take cheap shots at Yorktown in order to portray other Arlington schools in a more favorable light.[/quote]

Yes, the big sports rivalry is between W-L and Yorktown. No disputing that. The demographics break down is more more similar between Wakfield and W-L. Also if you look a great schools  Wakefield is a 4 - Washington Lee is a 5
 Yorktown is an 8 ( and fluctuates up from there). 
How is that being negative to Yorktown? 
You should look into therapy. [/quote]

How do people not get that the history of segregation still affects everything in APS? Why do you think W-L and Yorkown have a big rivalry, but not Wakefield? Because they didn't compete against each other, because of segregation. You may not think you are racist, but you can still support the perpetuation of differences (e.g. School boundaries) rooted in racism, which is almost as bad. [/quote]
