The issue is already racialized based on how the current rules regarding school choice are written. Furthermore, while the Item was reporting the sentiments of a few parents, I think that their coverage of the parents' particular concerns (which I did agree with) put an unnecessary tone on the topic which attracted the wrong kind of attention and did not result in a real discussion of the underlying issue (i.e. that many Lynn schools are under performing). The Item has a nasty habit of printing "race based" articles in such a way that lead to a lot of views on their website and hundreds of comments which is beneficial for them but does a disservice to the stories they are covering.CCHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321375895058203886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223552517534849885.post-47134475268747913782012-02-14T07:19:53.789-08:002012-02-14T07:19:53.789-08:00Great article Cleo!
But I disagree that Tricia ...Great article Cleo! <br /><br />But I disagree that Tricia O'Malley is sensationalizing or racializing the issue. She's right, school choice shouldn't be based on the color of your skin. The LPS is making this a racial issue. What if black students showed up at Pickering, Sission, Lynn Woods, and Shoemaker and they were told, "Sorry, you're black - you can't come to school here"? Stanley Wotring has bi-racial kids and he was able to get one into Pickering and one had to stay at Marshall. It doesn't seem like race played a factor.<br /><br />Honestly, I think LPS is just hanging their hat on race, because they are too embarrassed to say, "Our school is too full and too run down to handle the kids we are ready have." If the schools pits races against one another, we'll be so busy fighting each other that we wont be able to stand up to the schools. The same thing happens with Sped versus Regular Ed. Divide and conquer. <br /><br />The bottom line is we need better schools through-out Lynn, so parents wont have to battle to move their children to better schools. We wont get better schools until the LPS listens to us, they wont listen until we have four school committee members that are going to vote for the children, families and teachers of Lynn. Right now the only ones who are voting for us are Rick Starbard, Donna Coppola and Maria Carrasco (though I don't know what Maria was thinking voting to extend Dr. Latham's contract). We need to change that and soon.Melissa Romaniellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16092687986442287091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223552517534849885.post-39363773202280976182011-12-31T15:23:00.885-08:002011-12-31T15:23:00.885-08:00Thanks for the comment.

I changed the sentence a little in order to not place all the blame on the local media.CCHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321375895058203886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223552517534849885.post-28284196929413278002011-12-31T06:11:08.183-08:002011-12-31T06:11:08.183-08:00Let me be the first.

Good job pointing out some basic facts that seem to go unacknowledged by the majority of people, including most notably, those on the school committee. You tell it like it is. I have one small bone to pick. I don't think you can lay all the blame for racializing this issue on the media. They are only reporting, after all, on the actions and attitudes of, in this case, a group of parents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
