Behold the true face of social justice warriors, delighting that their useless offspring may "jump" our kids prior to going to their predictable final destination of state prison and life of crime.

But then again, those of us who come from Communist countries are familiar with your type from our grandparents' experiences.

"They (who) seek to establish systems of government based on the regimentation of all human beings by a handful of individual rulers...call this a new order. It is not new and it is not order" - Franklin Delano Roosevelt[/quote]

It's 7 am, and somebody on DCUM is calling Superintendent Jack Smith a Nazi because he reassigned one area of Clarksburg from Rocky Hill MS/Clarksburg HS to Neelsville MS/Seneca Valley HS.

DCUM's gonna DCUM, I guess.

PP, here's the speech you're quoting from. FDR delivered it at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on March 15, 1941.

He was talking about the Lend-Lease Act.

PP: I don't think that the BOE and social justice warrior types are like Nazis, actually.  They remind me much more closely of the people who ran both the Russian revolution in 2017 and the Chinese cultural revolution.[/quote]

Then, in the small picture, find a more suitable quote.

And, in the big picture - you're comparing people who want to change public-school boundaries in Montgomery County, Maryland, to the Russian Revolution and the Cultural Revolution. I'm speechless.

PP:  I think that FDR's quote has transcended the initial setting of his speech, especially once it was emblazoned on the FDR memorial.  While you, as a scholar, may see it differently, most people passing by the memorial and/or reading my post do not think of the Lend-Lease Act, but rather understand the greater impact of FDR's vision.

The comparison is not baseless.  The BOE, while being very cute about it "not being about real estate values", is proposing to take $100K-$200K per FAMILY in well regarded school districts on the vacuous premise that somehow this mixing of the students will result in closing the achievement gap.  Multiple previous experiments demonstrate that no such thing occurs for any long-term outcomes, and especially not in STEM.  The problem lies in substandard curricula in American schools, especially at elementary and middle school level.  The reason middle class students do well in STEM areas is that parents have to teach them independently of the schools, either in person or by hiring tutors, Saturday schools, enrichment activities, whatever.  Parents that are not able to do that get kids that don't know anything.  It's not rocket science.  This latest redistricting initiative is redistribution of wealth, pure and simple.  There is no educational component here.  Next step is obviously jumping our kids when they are vulnerable and alone in school, because idiots beat up on smart people since time immemorial, it's normal and natural.  Next step is getting the smart people to leave, so that your people can take over our devalued property and run it into the ground.  What else is new.  Every single revolution in the world is built along those basic value systems.

In the meantime, parents who invested their lives into their children are encouraged not to worry because their students' state testing scores stay steady under such redistricting reforms in other jurisdictions.  I would certainly hope so, since state exams are written for the lowest possible denominator.  By the time our children start failing state exams, clearly we have failed as their parents unless the children have a clear learning disability.[/quote]
