Junk the Fairfax school redistricting plan

Hmmm, it seems Fairfax County Public School (FCPS) officials are a tad defensive these days. How else to explain their decision to have the cops remove county resident Bruce Bennett out of the “town hall meeting” he was videotaping, a clearly legal activity under Virginia law? Bennett was among the estimated 2,000 mad-as-hornets Fairfax County parents who swarmed a Dec. 3 meeting demanding a moratorium on a controversial school redistricting plan. That plan is designed to fill 700 empty desks at Reston’s South Lakes High School by changing its geographic boundaries. We understand why these parents are upset, but instead of demanding a moratorium that won’t fix a seriously flawed process, it makes more sense to junk it and start over.
