[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is proposing taking away Duke Ellington. The school would still exist and in a potentially more central and more convenient location, with maybe even nicer facilities.[/quote] That's the thing, though, Duke Ellington supporters want it to stay exactly where it is, convenience and facilities notwithstanding. I think it's related to a a long-term concern that residents in their current Georgetown location would like to kick the majority black school population out. This perception affects their reaction to arguments that a different location would actually benefit the school -- making it more accessible to more kids all over the city. The city has changed tremendously since Duke Ellington settled in Georgetown in 1974, including building an extensive subway system that is convenient to many DC schools, but not Ellington.[/quote]
