[quote=Anonymous]I don't think that we can solve the problems of income inequality that fall along racial lines by fixing middle school boundaries. If we were living in a place where there's white flight or crosses on the lawn at the first sign of a brown person, you've got systemic issues. But the reality is you have to have money to live in the northern parts (actually all the parts, but you need even more in the north) so trying to force some ridiculous gerrymandering in order to maintain the idea that you will have socioeconomic diversity one of the richest counties in the nation is a pretty futile exercise. No matter how you slice it, the prime real estate is statistically not likely to be filled with Central American immigrants.

And those of you thinking that what's happening in S. Arlington schools because of the FARMS and ESL kids clearly continue to live in a bubble and have never seen what truly sh*t schools are like. There was a PBS documentary called "180 Days: A Year in an American High School" that looked at one of DC's charter schools that shows what truly bad environments look like. It's not that your snowflake has to possibly sit still for five minutes because the teacher has to address someone else. The Arlington school system is exactly what anyone who ever dealt with economically disadvantaged students hope they would get.

Stop it with  this racist name calling BS. If you think this is what terrible racism looks like, you really live in a fairy princess world.[/quote]
