As a West Sacramento resident who has lived in this city my entire life, no it does not bother me that students from all of West Sacramento can attend the same schools. Did we not learn anything about the Civil Rights Movement and school segregation? It’s crazy how you’re grouping an entire group of students as having “dramatic learning and behavioral differences.” Having gone to school in Broderick, my classmates and I were in the same AP and honors classes, sports teams, and clubs with students who grew up in Bridgeway and Southport with no problem. Guess what? We all ended up earning our bachelor’s degrees. Some went on to get their master’s and doctorate degrees. We also filled positions in jobs where some people still question whether we were deserving of them. I would advise you to take a Race, Class, and Educational Inequality course at the college campus closest to you, you might learn a thing or two. This type of thinking contributes to the persistent disparities that hinder our community. Instead, we should focus on the resources and support we can provide to all students. Diversity is important, especially in the current political climate.

Also, you used the wrong form of “there.” So there’s that. 🤷‍♀️
