[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a little off topic, but I am in the Viers Mill community, where there is a lot of talk about how detrimental it will be for our community to go and be the poor immigrant kids in the Woodward pyramid. Even though this will probably help our property values here, it is interesting how, even within the black/brown community, there is no perfect answer.

Do I think that Montoya should have said what she said- No. Do I think she should apologize- yes. Do I think what she said is pretty accurate of those arguing for Wootton to stay- yes, she is probably correct. Is there really a great solution for everyone in this insanely large county where every group will be happy- absolutely not. [/quote]

Most people protesting this move are doing so because 
1. Proximity: they are worried it is only a matter of time before they get redistricted because crown is much further for them than walkable Wootton 
2. The insane gaslighting and lunacy of this process. (Brown Station: I can promise you this move was made because mcps has already made up its mind to close Ridgeview. Yet another example of decisions being “done deals” before public engagement even started)
3. Unfair: they chose to close down a majority minority school. Why do predominantly white schools get renovations but Wootton didn’t for 17+ years?

And again—regardless of how you feel about Wootton or even if you think Montoya made the comments in response to the regional program, not the boundary study, her comments are disqualifying for an elected official.

Full stop.

Condoning or putting up with this type of behavior from elected officials is why we have who we have in the White House. There’s no debate on the merits of policies and issues, just constant demagoguing

This reads the same way the writer of the op-ed writes so I suspect it's the same person. YAWN. [/quote]
