Breaking the no-just-a-link rule, also quoting Daily Caller. This should be good.

Wow! They tallied license plates, checked court records, and followed cars back to Maryland. There clearly is some fire there--hopefully this will spark an OSSE investigation.

[Anonymous]

Just....wow.

So - if the DC has all this data, can't they just turn it over to OSSE?

OMG. Some people are sofa king insane.

This is unbelievable yet not unbelievable. A principal denying that there's anything to see, parents threatening reporters (one trying to get the police to arrest a journalist), the very high incidence of MD cars dropping off along a major commuter route between DC and PG County. Kuros to Daily Caller for putting some investigative muscle on this (with pics of some fraudster vehicles).

If you scroll to the bottom, it looks like they will focus on this topic for an entire week. I'm bookmarking this one.

OP here. Apologies for posting the link only. My commentary is that until an investigation on the scale of Watergate is launched, nothing will change. I have seen it at schools in Wards 5 and 6 since I moved here 8 years ago. The legacy belief is cultural and ingrained. There is no political will to change it because the parents cheating the system in Ward 5 & 6 are black and to criticize the practice/fraud/theft opens one to being called a racist.

So - what do you think will come from this? This has been a topic of discussion on DCUM since DCUM was launched.

There was the Washington Post article of the child asking which Ward Landover was in.

The child from Thompson Elementary who took coke to school and was put into CPS. The legal response of the parent's was that it could not be done b/c the child was not a DC resident.

Dear ms. Watson,

You're not a crusader. You are a self-aggrandizement small person harassing children. Really? You're shocked that many parents were upset that you stalked them? I'm shocked that you have the balls to even basically say that what you really want is for Ludlow Taylor to get white enough for your kids to go there.

God help your kids.

While the way this was handled is icky - the article does have a point, why are there so many MD residents in DC schools?

[Anonymous]

This must have been the stalkers during their investigation

You just illustrated 09:18's point.

You defend theft by calling the messenger racist. Lovely morals.
