Different RM Asian parent poster -- I grew up lower income in a school where majority were black and hispanic.

Are there "liberal hypocrites"? Sure, just as there are "conservative hypocrites".   But, I seriously doubt that the SJW on this forum advocating for equity of FARMs across the clusters are private school parents.  I'm thinking the majority are from non wealthy areas.

To be fair, I would not want my kids to go to a school with a super high FARMs rate - like 40%+.  While I'm sure many kids in such schools get a good education and do well (certainly was the case in my HS), IMO, such schools have too many issues that I don't want my kids or myself to have to deal with.  Conversely, I wouldn't want my kids in a school where this is too much wealth. Those schools, too, have too many issues that I don't want my kids or myself to deal with.

IMO, schools like RM and Northwest have a good mix of SES (about a 20% FARMs rate) and race -- those schools are truly diverse.  It would be awesome if more clusters could have that mix, but realistically, that's not going to happen. Doesn't mean MCPS shouldn't try if it's possible by moving around areas in neighboring clusters like they said they are going to do.  Again, the aren't looking at busing cross county, only neighboring clusters.[/quote]

Different people can certainly have different views on these social issues concerning diversity etc. For the MCPS schools part, a balanced view at this point would be minor boundary tweaks initialized by capacity issues are probably acceptable - that is also what BoE is looking into.

When people express their opinions which are clearly beyond this, and try to justify those with "social justice" or "promoting diversity" or some other political correct reasons, it is likely they could be identified as "liberal hypocrites".
