[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, it's that great day of the year, where we DC residents get to pay federal taxes. Let's just take a moment and remember that we have no voting say over what happens to those dollars. Time for statehood, DC. [/quote]

Yes.  But you do have local control of DC schools, [b]which has produced not a single school that the President found fit for his own kids.[/b]

If DC were a state, it would score dead last on state SAT scores.

And up to 2008 or so, the adult iliteracy rate was 36% in D.C. thanks to home rule over schools; fortunately gentrification drove many of the victims of DC schools out into PG and other places, so we don't have to live with the poors.

D.C. Statehood?  Hell no.

Revoke home rule instead.[/quote]

Only one president has sent their kids to public schools, and that was Jimmy Carter.  The Clintons, Kennedys, Obamas, Bushes, Reagans were all schooled in the private schools of DC, NY, CA, AR, MA, NH, IL pre and post presidency.  It's not a DC thing.  [/quote]
