I would like to clarify something for all those throwing blame at this group for using the term "apartment kids" and calling us segregationists. I think you misunderstand. Do you realize we are IN FAVOR of a zoning plan that would include multiple apartment complexes into the school we would like our children to attend? The one we are opposing would not include as many, if any at all, apartment complexes in our assigned school. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO ABOUD BEING ZONED WITH APARTMENTS. One comment above supporting this petition referred to "apartment kids" but was upset about the use of the term by the other side. S/he was complaining about its use.

And for the record, if we are rezoned to Ellison, upset parents could try to get a waiver to LSE. That would make it equal to the situation at McAndrews, not the reverse.

Seems to me there's a lot of pot/kettle on BOTH sides, including from those who came here for no other reason than to apparently chastise us.
