I think diversity is good.  I also think that  you cannot legislate or design it.  It cannot outweigh logic.  Example: taking kids from an underenrolled school and sending them to an overenrolled school simply because of a lack of economic diversity.

Langley's boundary was created many years ago--and, because of its location, included Great Falls.

Also, when the boundaries were first created, Herndon was likely mostly the Town of Herndon.  There was no Fairfax County Parkway at that time.  Dranesville Road was likely the main artery to Route 7.  In many ways, Herndon is still a small town school.  There is a real town and it is the center of the community, even though the school is just outside the edge of town.

Herndon has not always had the large FARMS population it does today.  A lot of the growth of this population is due to the welcoming environment that the Town of Herndon has made for this population.  So, I am guessing that most of the Herndon community is not as concerned about having Great Falls in their school as our PP is.  After all, it is Herndon's policies that have encouraged it.
