    3. Student 1: I am sorry that I bumped into you, but this school is extremely overcrowded.
      Student 2: You should move to Western MC to go to school. DCC high schools are over capacity.
      Student 1: MC practices equity in all schools.
      Student 2: It is equal for all schools who have parents with the time to complain.

    4. Anon 12:32 - You lack history. Parents wanted Blair to be overcrowded. Go back and read up on what happened when Blair was moved to the new site.
