[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank God. At least someone said the message was irritating. I also jumped in my office chair when I read it. How does she dare to mix and dishonor the Brown v Board heroes with poor public school management issues?

The beauty of it, from a pass-the-buck perspective, is that DCPS can blame its failures on white people ("segregation") as the reason why they need to hard-wire many OOB spots into the better-performing schools.  It's NOT because DCPS has failed to do anything to encourage engaged kids and their parents to risk staying in their own neighborhoods in order to improve their neighborhood schools, right?  It couldn't be because there's nothing there for them, could it?  And, if you DO talk about initializing specialized programming in poorly-performing schools, it has to be tooled to the lowest-common-denominator, or else white people might be interested in attending those schools, too.  And then, heaven forbid MORE gentrification (read: reverse segregation) might actually occur, and we can't have that.  Segregation is good for DCPS.  All the while, the local families with engaged, proficient kids are left out of the equation.  I can't blame them for "traversing" across the city, either.[/quote]
