[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened to democracy? We all live in a county, a state, a nation. Where are these attitudes coming from that we only want our children to be around other children who are the BEST at school (and at swimming!)? Do you only ride the metro with people who have the same IQ as you? Do you receive better trash service or smoother roads than people who don't have as many degrees as you?[b] Those of you who are truly opposed to adding any children to your schools who do not perform as well as your own children[/b], answer honestly: are you coming from countries where this is how education works -- only the brightest get an education? It seems to me that a lot of people are suffering from cultural confusion. That is not how things are done in America. [/quote]

This is democracy: people voice their opinions when they think their interest may be at risk.

What is not democracy: people value their ideology above other people's interest - so our interests are not real, only the group of people you think you are helping, their interests are real? Are they even with you on these?

When there is proposed changes to the school your kids go to, why can't parents be concerned if the school may change for worse? 
Are you saying people's concerns should be ignored because it does not comply with your moral standard?
