[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Controlled choice" is an Orwellian term. It is not choice if someone else controls it. Imagine having stretched and spent bongo-bucks for a tiny pre-WW II center hall brick colonial in AU Park so that your kids can attend Janney. Then someone in control says, because of the 20% OOB set aside, your choice will be to to Southeast and choose between Marion Barry Educational Center and Michael Brown Elementary School. Congratulations.[/quote] Wow. I sympathize with the predicament but the way it is expressed is beyond racism.[/quote] Beyond racism?! It would be just like DC to name schools after two politicians who have or are serving time in the slammer. Marion Barry's name still adorns the Frank Reeves Center on 14th St. (in bigger letters than Rives name). Barry's name was removed once, and then put back up.[/quote]
