[quote=Anonymous]Wow!  I can't believe that you're gleefully talking about "exterminating" poor people, Blacks and Hispanics from DC like they are roaches or something.  You are unbelievably cold, heartless and hateful.  Didn't you get the memo?  Jim Crow is over.

[quote=Anonymous][quote]Eye opening stats. We all know that Montgomery and Fairfax Counties have great publics. But I wonder how DC's public rank against publics in other high crime areas? Who has better publics between DC and PG? Or perhaps DC and Baltimore City? [/quote]

Good questions.

In fact DC's public schools rank very poorly against publics with exclusively poor, minority demographics.  But as the JKLM fetishists on DCUM will point out, the schools that aren't crippled by overwhelming poverty actually do quite well.  At least a half dozen schools have flipped from the former category to the latter category on Capitol Hill in the last half-decade alone.

There's no question that DC has some bad public schools, lots of them--or that there are a lot of murders, there are.  [b]The solution to all of DC problems are already well underway--a demographic shift that drives a hefty portion of  the some 30% of DC residents with a HHI of <$15k out to MD and VA.[/b][/quote][/quote]
