Review of The Woodlands, Texas


Not What it seems
Star Rating - 5/19/2009
This community and in fact what is called The Conroe School District is a fanatical Protestant religious cliche. Most recently, a Bible course has been implemented in the school system to study. specifically, Protestant Religion and use The king James verision of the Bible. It is simply amazing that such blatant disregard for the diversity and beliefs of other people in the community of well over 300,000 should exist in a public school system and in the 21st Century. It is consistent with the racist views of both the school board and the Superintendant of the School District and clearly verified by the poor performacne of the Conroe High School. The Conroe High School is composed mostly of latinos and blacks, whereas the remianing high schools are mostly white ( greater than 95%) vs Conroe (Whites less than 20%). The Principal of the Conroe High School hired five years ago to improve educational standards has done nothing as the rating of this high school is still very poor. It is certainly apparent that rather than catering to the fanatical religious zealots and introducing a Bible study course driven by the white protestant community that attention should be directed to improving the performacne of the minority high school. I expect that the KKK is forming up and being directed by the School Board and that soon we will have signs appearing approved by the Superintendant and Director of Curriculum telling people of color not to be on the streets when the sun goes down.

I came across this web link doing a google search and felt I must reply to the blatant misinformation and outright lies in the comments "Not What it seems". As a resident of the The Woodlands with children attending CISD (Conroe Independent School System)schools, I would like to state facts to combat the racist diatribe in these comments left by DB. Log onto www.conroeisd.net for the emperical facts that support the comments below: 1) CISD comprises of just a little of 48,500 students and the racial break-down is:White .................................65.0% Hispanic..........................24.9% African American .......6.6% Other.....................................3.5% 2) Conroe High School: Whites are the largest minority - > 43.2%, Latinos - > 41.7% and Blacks 13.1%; other is 2%. Hardly the "Whites less than 20%" make-up as mentioned in DB's comments where it states that Conroe HS is made up of less than 20% Whites!! 3) Bible studies are NOT instituted in the CISD curriculum; I am Catholic and would know if there was a Protestant conspiracy to spread the Prostant teachings in CISD! 4) The reference to "KKK" in DB's comments shows not only the racial hatred of his/her's comments but more importantly; his/her's ignorance! I am from up North and have been a resident in The Woodlands for 10 years, I have not yet been recruited to wear the white cap and gown! The Woodlands is a great place to live and extremely family oriented. I cannot speak for DB's bad personal experiences with CISD but i can speak for my own and most importantly, for the facts.

We already have KKK. Its called Islam. In case you did not know these folks throw gays off buildings, stone people for having children out of wedlock, subjugate women and publicly whip women who step out of line. The force their religion on everyone and if you refuse it is their view that you should be beheaded. So, if you really are worried about this kind of thing why don't you preach your dissatisfaction with the Muslims. Get some testosterone and stop acting like a PC pussy.
