This thread, and the whole debate over boundaries, would be so much more interesting if PP would quit calling everyone either a segregationist or a racist. Or perhaps that’s why OP started the thread.

OP, there are people who want to hear what you have to say and talk about the boundary analysis. Labeling is going to shut down that conversation. If you are or were a student in MCPS, I expect better of you. You can save that for the real racists. They are out there and calling everyone a racist gives them cover.

It's not just one PP, and it's not "everyone" who is being called a segregationist.

There are posts on this thread that actually support segregation. Or at minimum do not have any objections to segregation. People who have these opinions are segregationists. If you don't want to people to call you a segregationist, then you can start by not defending segregation.

Can you point out a pro-segregation post?

Nobody is forcing anybody of any color to live anywhere.

Then why are the schools segregated? Because people can't live just anywhere. Further, there are a number of historical factors that created this situation.

1) Restricting the majority all the low-income housing to a few areas
2) historical practices like red-lining
3) gerrymandering school boundaries to exclude low-income students or the reverse

People swear up and down that MCPS is just one school system. Why isn’t MCPS providing a good education at EVERY school as it is.

We're going in circles. MCPS is trying to do something about school boundaries. That's why so many parents are up in arms about "busing". That's why my neighborhood that is closer to a W schools is zoned for a non W school. That's why the SVHS boundary thread is super long... because MCPS is changing the boundary there such that they are trying to "bus" students to make FARMS rate more equitable.

Yet, some troll keeps saying how some of us are defending segregation, calling us "pro-segregation" by stating the obvious... it's the housing policies, stupid. And most of us on here don't define housing policies. However, parents don't want over crowded schools, and I would imagine, poor parents would also rather not have their children go to over crowded schools where the class sizes are huge, but many, unfortunately, don't have any other option.

And before some stupid troll calls me pro-segregationist, I grew up low income, to poor immigrant parents who didn't speak English.

No, that's not why the SVHS boundary study thread is so long. It's so long because some of the people who were reassigned don't want to be reassigned.

Elections have consequences. They should stop voting for people that don't have kids in school.
