Same. There is a lot I'd like to change about DCPS but that guy is just using our children to score political points with racists voters in Alabama.

Also, as someone who actually lives in DC and has some major opinions about crime in this city, it's so obvious that juvenile crime in DC is mitigated/improved by more time in and exposure to DCPS. Like it is not the kids sitting in classrooms across this city who are committing crimes. It's the ones who don't show up to school, who have disappeared from the system. If you could guarantee that every kid age 10-18 in this city was sitting in a public school classroom today with one of the city's hard-working and well-qualified teachers, you'd see a crime drop instantly.

Schools in this city have their issues, but they are not causing crime. The opposite -- they are one of our best tools for preventing it, and they don't always get the support and participation from other city institutions to do that important work.[/quote]
