[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then, who is pushing for the bounary redrawing, the kids in Kennedy or the kids in Whitman?[/quote]

Started by the former SMOB, Board of Education voted for it, since then picked up by Students against Gun Violence.  And various people on this Board.

Anyone who says anything against it gets labeled a bigot/racist/elitist who only cares about property values and not kids.[/quote]

The arguments against the boundary analysis are:

1. "My property values!"
2. "Bringing poor kids into my kid's school will harm my kid's education."
3. "I don't want my kid bused across the county!"

#1 is unrelated to education. #2 is empirically false (just ask those of us with kids at high schools where there are poor kids - [b]to say nothing of those of us who have poor kids![/b]) And nobody is proposing #3.

So what's left?[/quote]
Oh, I get it! You want to pay Wheaton real estate prices while sending your child to Whitman. Smart move.[/quote]
