[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could also do without all these posts on MOTH and certain parents' social media explicitly calling people who oppose the pairing racist.  These are people who have chosen to raise their kids and attend public schools in NE DC (and Maury families attend a school that is over 40% non-white).  [/quote]

Agreed. I have found the "promerger" crowd on MOTH to be rather aggressive and accusatory. I am of course biased (as I'm opposed to the merger) so I do wonder if others have felt the same?

I have found it extremely interesting that a lot of the loudest cheerleaders on MOTH and elsewhere in the community don't actually send their kids to Miner. [/quote]

Hated that the pro-petition labels opposition concerns as "anxieties" and "opponents of change". Fun political garbage.

Talks I've had with my neighbors have all been reasonable and that includes folks who were for and against the cluster. I think there are sensible arguments for and against. People on the internet are inflammatory, there's some fiery stuff out there from merger opposition as well; but everyone I've talked to in person has been civil.[/quote]

Generally agreed. Online is very different from in-person, where people have generally been respectful. The only lack of civility I witnessed in person was at one of the discussions that the Maury principal held. A pro-merger mom mis-represented that her small discussion group had been in agreement in support of merger, and then it looked like she literally tried to prevent another parent from getting the mic to correct the record.
