I think my question for her would be, whose voices should be heard in a discussion of what to do with a school in a historically black neighborhood, white parents of school-aged kids who live in that neighborhood, or the older long-term black residents of that neighborhood and other black residents of Arlington who won't be sending kids there?

Or to freshen that question up for 2019, whose voices should be heard in a discussion of what to do with an immersion school in a historically Hispanic neighborhood that is underenrolled and where there is no room or budget to build another elementary school and where other parts of the county are overcrowded so moving schools is the only option go with me here--parents of kids who attend that school now, or other residents of Arlington who won't be sending kids there but say they speak for minorities?

I'm not her, but I would certainly want to be sure that people buying property understand that their kids are entitled to a suitable public education, and that some kids may need greater accommodations to success, so decisions will be made thinking about the good of the community as a whole.

Would that make you think I'm racist? [/quote]
