So what if it was 1987.  What difference does it make who was in power and who was a pop star?  The point is that MCPS has done this kind of thing before.

RMHS was under capacity. It was majority low income. They rezoned a wealthy neighborhood that had a walkable HS to RM, added a magnet, and now it's one of the most diverse HS clusters in the county. Why wouldn't MCPS do it again, but the other way around?[/quote]

MCPS has also had de-jure segregated schools before. So what if that ended in 1961? What difference does it make who was in power and who was a pop star?[/quote]
wow.. you're dense.

MCPS and MoCo being a very progressive liberal area isn't going to segregate, rather the opposite as we have seen, and TB going to Wootton or Churchill to address over crowding at RM and create diversity in those W schools is a win win for MCPS's resolution of focusing looking at diversity and adjacent clusters when rezoning.[/quote]

I wouldn't want to guess where or if Twinbrook would be moved out of RM but there are definitely a lot of people in the W schools that are in total denial.  The school board literally said they want to consider diversity so it's foolish to assume that they won't do so.  I think it's safe to assume that each of the W schools will have at least one lower income or minority ES reassigned to them. They aren't going to be flooded with them or anything like that.  People don't need to be terrified because one ES with brown people are going to their high school no matter how much they act like it's the end of the world.  From my perspective it's actually a good thing because when you go about your daily life, you aren't only going to run into or work with all white and Asian people.[/quote]
