School Re-Districting - What is the answer?

Why should upper middle class be punished or compromised?

This is a challenge faced by school districts nationwide. Who sincerely - from any point in the political spectrum-does not want equality in our schools? The optimum answer is not that simple.

I live in a racially diverse, upper middle class town about 35 miles from Washington, DC in suburban Maryland. Policy was just voted to bus students out of schools their neighborhoods to other schools all in the interest of balancing students who receive FARMS assistance and those who do not within each school. It’s busing/redistricting based on socioeconomic status, not race.

Opposition to this policy has been dismissed as “racism”; but, it’s not that simple either. Again, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Indians..., all comprise my town as well and have expressed opposition to this policy for the same reasons as whites. The premise is that these middle class families work hard to be in a good neighborhood, affordable housing, and quality of life that includes good schools in the neighborhood.

Proponents of this socioeconomic redistricting believe this will even out other inequities such as white/non-white ratios in advanced placement and remedial programs. I disagree.

The equality will come at the lowest common denominator.

50 years ago, it was a mistake to let ones children attend public schools because the instructors were generally racist morons who disliked "upper middle class Whitey" but cleverly obtained positions at all levels in public schools. But parents did not know the evil involved. They good naturedly assumed, expensive town, high taxes, they must have good schools. Wrong. Best to home school.

Pppfffttt......No. That was the logic behind busing for racial integration though.

Here is another perspective. A school in a poor neighborhood is equally opposed to busing. The school is 70 percent FARMS assistance. The school community also benefits from medical and healthcare and rental assistance. According to the advocates and beneficiaries, they would lose these resources if their kids are moved out not mention the costs and burdens of commutes.

Ever drive through a ghetto and wonder why it looks that way, because it used to be such a nice place?

No. I usually know the history behind it.

When society idiots figure out that " Charter schools" or funded by a terrorist the lowest on the IQ charts will yell " conspiracy" . lmfao meanwhile it can all be traced and tracked right back to the core of the education system.


Arguably Turkey's most influential spiritual leader of the past 50 years, Gülen left that country in the late 1990s and now directs his cult-like Islamic movement from a guarded compound in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.

Part of his empire consists of a thriving network of more than 140 charter schools in 26 states that sell themselves to parents as a secular and more academically rigorous alternative to public schools.

As the second-largest chain of charter schools in the United States, Gülen schools rake in tens of millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars every year.

Not saying it's true, but it's the same philosophy that got rid of tracking in schools....putting the higher level kids in with the lower level kids.....believing that that would motivate the low to go high. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way..............and it makes teaching a hundred times harder.

Now this is just an outright violation of separation of church and state. If taxpayers are funding Islamic schools in the US via charter schools, then they can fund Christian, Jewish, Buddhists, and Wiccan schools as well.
