[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hilarious. Self-segregation is the ultimate goal of just about every parent in DC area. People pay insane amounts for housing and spend hours each day commuting to their jobs so that their kids can go to segregated schools.  And when they succeed, someone writes an article denouncing it?  Where does the author live? In Anacostia? Or does he simply avoid the issue by sending his kids to St.Albans? [/quote]

Well, and no one wants to really talk about that.  The problem is that even if they change they way the school districts are determined, people will either move or they'll send their kids to private schools.   I've been amazed when seemingly progressive, open-minded people make all kinds of excuses when it's pretty clear they moved to a certain area because of race.

It's also interesting how people react when I tell them I live in PG County.  I get all kinds of remarks about the "schools" or the "taxes" from people who, in some cases, don't have children and paid a significantly higher amount for a smaller house with a longer commute (think gas money) to, as they claim, avoid what amounts to a slightly higher property and income tax.  I call bullshit.[/quote]
