Latin Funding Cut Thread?

...so did you move it or am I just blind - and can you speak to why you decided to move it?

If you are blind, you have a very good screen reader program. But, I think you are just probably not that observant:

OK, I'm clearly not observant, but it moved up because you deleted a number of posts - assuming that was because you deemed they weren't applicable to the thread?

Yes, once it turned into a debate about Marion Barry intervention was needed.

Fair enough, I understand if you feel you need to move it, but I don't understand the deletion of commentary about Bowser's cronyism, and how that relates to budget decisions she's making from DCPS/PCSS. This is why I reported the thread to you in the first place, is it politics or is it schools -- closely tie right? If I go now to the thread and point out how I feel her politics lead to this decision will that be considered off-point as well?

Asking this with all due respect to the ugly world in which you moderate - I don't want to wade into the depths of "stuff" you must have to, so I'm just clarifying.

It's a tough call. Context is important. Go ahead and post and I won't hold it against you if the thread goes off topic and I have to delete it.

Thanks. My indignation has waned a bit with a beer, so I'll probably let it die, but appreciate your responsiveness.
