2. I think it will have zero impact on diversity. What you mean by diversity is fewer white children, and the school has only gotten more white since the move to SD.

There is hostility towards comments that say I am going to ruin this for you Ward 4 families, though you make up a majority of the school and we hill people are a small minority.

So you hate white people. Got it.


I don't hate white people. If you would like to organize transportation to support your commute that's fine, happy to sign on to your letter of support. Just don't use poverty, diversity, and inclusion as an excuse for your transportation needs in hopes to get financial support from the school unless you are genuinely seeking it for the benefit of the group that needs the financial support.


Bitch, I personally know LAMB families who can't afford to pay for a shuttle to Kingsbury. Lots of charters subsidize busses. LAMB has no excuse for being any different.

As opposed to you, who will walk down the street to Kingsbury. Pretty sure you're getting the better end of that deal.


An honest poster who doesn't even pretend with the bad faith diversity argument. Thank you.

There is a reason that those of us who will walk to Kingsbury applied to the lamb lottery and not to Mundo Verde, SWS or Two Rivers. We thought about our ability to commute in advance of attending our school.

I don't think anyone has ever asked that. And if you want to ignore the impact that not providing shuttles will have on diversity and inclusivity, go for it.

But we will make sure the school and charter board know.

And if we are complaining about hostility, you are literally calling out people and shaming them. You're personally attacking parents and children under the cover of anonymity. If you have a problem with someone, email them directly. Don't come here and shame people for trying to figure out a way to get their kids to school. Shame on you.

If it never occurred to you to ask to be transferred to Missouri you are clearly stupid.


You clearly have no idea how many of us do this. Maybe because we don't whine.

Also, it would be sorta weird for an upper elementary school student to go to Missouri, but just keep whining.


Great, that's the decision you made for your family.

We are asking for a different path. And you should support us because it is the right thing to do.

I am not the PP, but did it occur to you that her child is probably in 4th or 5th grade and only has the SD option?
