[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed. Kaya needs to do her job, which is to improve all schools, not to blame some parents for her own failings.[/quote]

She was not blaming anyone per se, to me it was the ambigeous something is responsible.

As to set asides if you think nearly constant segregation is a suitable outcome then yeah criticize away.  Personally, I think it is one of the things that is harming our communities and would support a number of measures to alter the current segregation.  [/quote]

So-called segregation now is by income not race. And gentrification will eventually push all poor folks (mostly all minority in DC) out of the places where Abby Smith and a lot of other well-paid (mostly white) people are now moving in. If you want to work for justice, then work for affordable housing. If you want more black faces at JKLM, make a racial quota. If you want economic diversity and access for the poor, make a FARM quota at every school. But OOB set-asides so that, for example Abby Smith's kid or such like can get a spot at Deal are not going to uplift the people...[/quote]
