[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a mess.

I cannot believe this group of people.

The comments that Strauss made to the Mendez family were insulting.

It is clear that this is a racist process--and I don't mean white supremacist.[/quote]

Is it that it's a racist process or is it that Mendez only got about 350 votes, which doesn't show wide community support?  More community members supported[b] Peace Valley High.[/b]  I think it's the least divisive of the choices.  I think they should wrap this up by making a choice that might help to tone down the divisive nature of this whole process. [/quote]

+1  The comments indicate that the members are very attached to using school naming to honor specific ethnic groups.  Moon specifically said that Mendez is for the hispanic kids and he wants a school named for an Asian person very soon.

Just S-T-O-P with schools being named after people.  If they would just choose something neutral like Peace Valley, they would never have to mess with that school's name again.  So very political to pander to different racial groups.  [/quote]
