[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people screaming the loudest are the same white parents who throw on orange t-shirts and do whatever it takes to avoid the brown kids in south Arlington. 
It all just rings hollow. 
Integrate the schools, then I’ll give an F.[/quote]

x10000 times this

A name change is window dressing for limo liberals to make themselves feel better. If they truly were concerned, when the high school boundaries were being redrawn, they would have suggested the name change at that time AND pushed to have boundaries that would create more diversity at Yorktown.  Neither happened. [/quote]

Completely honest question.  If no one is really interested in busing kids from north to south and south to north, how is APS supposed to unwind the stratification of Arlington that has built up over many decades, in part due to county housing plans?

I'm not saying APS can't start moving in the right direction.  I just think it will take decades to unwind.[/quote]

If you had been following the last 2 go arounds you would know that APS caved to north Arlington limo liberals and made the schools more degraded and concentrated poverty. This name stuff is such a crock. Change the name. Don’t change the name. Whatever, but don’t pretend that it is any way meaningful. We’ve had opportunities to make meaningful progressive changes and we don’t. We never do. [/quote]
