Didn't this group of people just out Russell Pearce because he was to harsh on illegal immigration and the Hispanic people?
Some of Russell Pearce's biggest critics the Montague family and the Wright family are now the ones saying wait a minute, we don't want to dump these students into Kino Junior High and Carson Junior High, they will bring down the test scores and the neighborhoods
Here is a portion of an email from a Montague family member sent the neighbors and school board members.
Parents/Neighbors,On Tuesday night December 6th, Stephanie Wright had this to say:
As many of you are aware, Mesa Public Schools is currently in the process of making changes to the boundaries to all of the junior highs that boarder Mesa and Brimhall due to their closure at the end of the school year. (To see the current proposal click here.) According to the numbers that are being provided, the AIMS scores for Kino will drop by roughly 4%. (Click here to see attendance numbers and AIMS percentages.) Like many of you, my wife and I chose to purchase our home where we did based on the neighborhood and the schools to which my kids will be attending now and in the future. This is because the neighborhood school is a direct reflection on the neighborhood itself.......
If a school is performing and doing well, the neighborhood is vibrant. It has a detrimental effect if you take the strength of one school and start piecemealing it out.Ms. Wright also suggested that the district look at other option which wouldn't hurt the other West Mesa students.
This very racist, especially from people who just weeks ago called for a kinder, gentler approach to dealing with the Hispanic people when they voted Jerry Lewis to be their new Senator
I guess it's OK to be racist in West Mesa NOW!
