Wow. Congratulations, Ms. Monahan. You have just been played by some of the wealthiest white families in Portland. With fair and balanced reporting like this, who needs Fox News?

The mexican sombrero here conveys so much about where this article comes from (sure, all Latinos are basically Mexican, right?... or is it Olympic athletes?). It's the same insidious racism that has John101 talking about people putting on "fake accents", and prompted some parents to suggest that Latino nannies had been paid to show up in support of keeping Ainsworth neighborhood and Spanish Immersion programs integrated at the same school (as they've been successfully for 30 years). Both untrue.

Let's not forgot how displacing the Spanish Immersion program from Ainsworth got on the table: As a rushed and desperate 11th hour response when families in Council Crest, Healy Heights and Greenhills neighborhoods had their children and homes considered by PPS for redistricting to other schools.

Hypocrisy, indeeed.
