[quote=Anonymous]I'd just like to highlight how it was received when it was suggested that Lafayette Pre-K get relocated to a building on Military Road where there might be the possibility for families from "east of the park" to also attend....  People went nuts about how it would lead to the "right" to attend Lafayette and all the overcrowding blah, blah, blah.  There was no evidence that that was the case but immediately people: 1) look out for their own self interest; and 2) don't think about the fact that maybe letting some other kids into one of the better resourced elementary schools would help with issues of equity.  Same thing when there was talk about affordable housing being built in Chevy Chase...discussions centered around property values and overcrowding of school but zero discussion about expanding opportunity.  At some point, you have to assume that people's priorities are what they are regardless of what they say or what their progressive bumper stickers signal.  [/quote]
