[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]This. I would not respond in the way you are planning to. It makes you look tone deaf at best, and an apologist for nasty behavior at worst. I don't think that is what or who you want to be, or be seen as.  The racism and classism is present in all of this. Any denial of that won't work. [/quote]

I will ask you the same question I asked above. If DCUM is a bunch of segregationists perpetuating a racist system, what is the solution? Do you want people to stop moving into neighborhoods that they perceive as having good schools? Are posters supposed to stop talking about their local schools? One poster wants us to stop supporting charters despite many of them being among the most diverse schools in the city -- all in the name of ending segregation. Just calling people racists is easy. What's the solution that you propose?

Did you send your kids to your neighborhood schools? If not, that probably is a good place to start [/quote]

That’s an unlikely solution. I wouldn’t have moved to NE DC if I HAD to send my kids to the local schools such as Brookland middle.  I moved here because there was an option for school choice.  If I had to choose my local school, I’d be in ward 3 or Maryland like others.  [/quote]
