Trust me I can feel your stares from a mile away, you are not welcoming of a more diverse community at all

They do not want their kids at a school with poor Hispanic kids, whether it’s their kids moving to Herndon or Herndon kids moving to Langley. Their prejudice was so unfiltered that it embarrassed other Langley parents. They believe they have earned the right to live entirely apart from poorer people.

If you have plenty of money and are well educated, they do not care about race.

Stop spreading lies, I live in a wealthy White community (McLean) and this is not the sentiment at all. The elementary my kids go to is 42% minority, school has a great community, parents are nice and involved. We are POC (South Asian) so I guess I know what I am talking. People here in McLean are welcoming of a diverse community, this myth that people living in expensive neighborhoods don't welcome diversity is just a myth. My kids are friends with all sorts of kids, White, Brown, Black.

Also, diversity doesn't not mean Black and Hispanic but in your mind that's all diversity is about.

This. It’s so easy to see what’s coming down the pike and I am eternally grateful my kids will be done with FCPS before then.

Prediction: people will stop being mad at the Langley boundaries and instead whine and complain about all the people in GF who send their kids to private school.

And the school board and Fairfax County will start buzzing about how to block this by thinking they can make public services contingent on public school attendance.

That would be something.

It's always amusing when people admit that they have to force people into participating because they are offering an inferior experience.

Except that hasn’t happened. The county is happy to collect taxes from people who send their kids to privates and save FCPS money.

Things might be different if voters were voting down school bonds or electing candidates who opposed local taxes, but that has not happened. If the next School Board were to follow an aggressive agenda of favoring lower-income schools over schools elsewhere in the county at every opportunity, you might see more voters turning their backs on FCPS or looking to split the county into two or more separate jurisdictions.

You are assuming that the wealthiest and most highly educated people in the county will allow this to happen.

It doesn’t sound legal. Just another straw-man argument advanced by opponents of One Fairfax after their earlier straw-man arguments didn’t get much traction during the election.

I agree. But, with a School Board who thinks it is a great idea to put free tampons in elementary school bathrooms, who knows?
