[quote=Anonymous][quote]Also, I am missing any the advocating for an ethnically homogenous cohort at Deal? How’d that issue get factored in here? [/quote]

Because I asserted several pages ago that the sure-fire way to halt overcrowding in Deal would be to re-draw its boundaries to bring them inward.    It is indisputable that drawing a[u] tighter[/u] circle or perfect square around Deal's address would reduce the absolute number of kids eligible to attend.

It is probable that if you did this, fewer people with dark complexions would be eligible to attend Deal as a matter of right.

Jeff correctly pointed out that a move like this would create a firestorm in certain circles.

It is OK to have all-white elementary schools, and it's OK to have all-black elementary, middle and high schools.   It is not OK, I have now been told, to do anything to a [i]neighborhood[/i] school that would reduce overcrowding conditions for the [i]neighborhood[/i] children if doing so would result in a larger white population at that school.

I got it now.[/quote]
