The shift is real and it is happening very quick. Get out while you can.

Did you know that HoCo and a couple of the NoVa school districts are going through boundary analysis/change keeping "diversity" in mind? Good luck to you.

Their diversity isn’t poor illegal aliens.

You don't think FFX has poor illegal aliens? um.. ok. I think you need to take a yonder over to the FFX/va school forum for a bit.

+1 illegal immigration is a problem in NoVa. You are delusional if you think overwise.

I agree with this. The DCC zealots that all think they will benefit from taking down the Bethesda, Potomac or Rockville schools will be in for a big surprise. Dropping the property values and pushing the higher earners out of the county is not going to make Silver Spring suddenly attractive. Lessor areas only do well when the more desirable ones become too expensive so people are forced into the next level down. When the top falls, the bottom falls faster. As individuals, they won't benefit in the end. They will enjoy much higher taxes to make up for the even larger shortfall.



That you think this involves a "takedown" of these schools really says a lot.

Except that this is EXACTLY what the DCC zealots think. Its about taking down the "W" schools and making their own school more white. These people do not give one hoot about diversity. They love that Blair CAP is all white and fight to keep magnet spots for white kids whether they score the highest or not. They jockey to separate their kids from the local poor populations creating schools within schools. Its a very ugly group that is pushing this and it has nothing to do with helping lower income AA and hispanic kids.

I'm more concerned that my kids go to school with segregationists. There's already a racist incident at a W every other week. It's time for the school board to address segregation.

Nope, I'm a homeowner in Montgomery County with 2 kids in MCPS. This applies just as much to me as to you (depending on you). i just don't follow the logic that MCPS must maintain socially-engineered school boundaries for the benefit of some people's property values.

I applaud you for the rhetorical slight-of-hand, but the social engineering necessary to produce school boundaries that have “acceptable” demographics will greatly exceed the effort involved in creating the current boundaries, even accepting their quirks. It’s disingenuous to pretend otherwise. Realistically, this is an exercise to reallocate wealth within the county and will lead to a net reduction in the value of residential real estate in the county.

Not the PP, but I have lived in both. I still have family in NoVa. It is not nearly as bad. They are not a sanctuary state/county. They have a lot of middle eastern immigrants. They are mostly legal and most are educated or actually take education seriously. It is night and day.
