WE COULD ONLY HOPE A DIVERSITY RESOLUTION FROM THE RALEIGH CITY COUNCIL WAS THE ONLY THING

As Meeker, WakeUp Wake County, the Wake County Public School System and others continue to impose transit and diversity agendas upon Wake County citizens, we can only wish that a Raleigh City Council resolution in support of diverse schools was the only thing.

Nicely tucked into Raleigh's Comprehensive Plan is a plan for Raleigh, in conjunction with the Wake County Public School System, to socially engineer Raleigh neighborhoods to "reduce the need for busing."

"The need for busing."

Could Mitch Silver and his illuminati buddies at Raleigh "central" Planning tell us what "need" there is for "busing?" Do tell. What "need" is there to force a poor child to get up excessively early to get on a bus to drive across the county to go to school?

Birds are chirping. Please tell us.

You can read our previous post about it here.

While there might be other legitimate reasons to locating affordable and other types of housing throughout Raleigh, this whole proposal reeks of 1960s nonsense.

1. There is no need for busing. None. Nobody can produce a shred of evidence that all this outrageous nonsense even works - at a time when it saddles Wake County taxpayers with huge costs and disrupts the lives of parents and their children. The Wake County Public School System refuses to study the issue. Refuses.

2. Once again - Raleigh has no business in this. Councilman Isley is apparently the only person who understands this.

THE 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - RALEIGH'S NC BUDGET DOCUMENT

Anyone involved with politics of any persuasion in North Carolina knows how both sides utilize the NC budget as a political weapon.

Politicians on both sides of the aisle anxiously await the week before elections to know what type of mail attacking them will arrive in voter mailboxes.

Likewise, Raleigh's Comprehensive Plan has 460 pages of goodies.

Maybe Meeker, Koopman, Stephenson, Baldwin and McFarlane would like to explain this one to irate Raleigh parents.

THINK RALEIGH CITY ELECTIONS DON'T RELATE TO WAKE SCHOOLS? THINK AGAIN.

Wake Community is reviewing Raleigh's proposed comprehensive plan and hope you will do so as well. You can access it at sociallyenginneringRaleigh2030.

The nifty folks who put together Raleigh's comprehensive plan tucked in a treasure trove of gems. They run the gamut of local public policy issues.

It seems both Raleigh's illuminati and the "planning experts" at the Wake County Public School System will force economically diverse schools on Raleigh families in one way or the other.

Here's what Raleigh's proposing (among a whole host of other items).

Raleigh's Comprehensive Plan - Page 238

Policy RC 32
Coordinate with WCPSS to co-locate affordable housing in conjunction with the development of new school sites to encourage economic diversity within new neighborhoods and schools and reduce the need for busing. (2, 3, 4, 6)

"Reduce the need for busing." So Raleigh ascribes that there is a need to continue a process that annually like clockwork evokes outrage in parents throughout Raleigh and Wake County.

So what Raleigh is saying is that if they can't reduce the "need" for busing, then this type of massive unnecessary shifting of large numbers of students across Wake County is okay. Any other type of large scale commuting is wholly unacceptable.

They sure don't soft-peddle the "need" for people to earn a living and commute to work. That clogs up our roads and pours pollutants into the air. Nevermind what an old school bus and thousands of school children being shuffled around Raleigh does. Let's also not speak about the impact this has on children.

Parents who have been showing up at assignment hearings in Raleigh, mark your calendar. You need to be at these meetings also and you need to go online and protest Raleigh's plans to socially engineer our schools. You can comment online now. The meetings take place in January.

I'LL SEE YOUR GARGABE DISPOSAL AND RAISE YOU ONE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

If you liked Raleigh's flawed social engineering garbage disposal policy, then you're gonna love the updated comprehensive plan.

These people screwed up a policy as simple as garbage disposals so badly and they're planning Raleigh for 2030?

Heaven knows what the plan will look like.

One thing is for sure. It'll be used as a political weapon by slow-growth advocates for years to come.
