Anything could happen.  DC is even studying a 100 percent lottery assignment system, with string at risk preferences..  In 5 years AU Park students might be assigned Hearst or even to a school in SE, not necessarily their neighborhood school.  This is the only way to address DEI meaningfully in DCPS.[/quote]

[b]The surest way to start a new wave of white flight[/b], just like in San Francisco. Even the staunchest progressives won’t have their kids bused from AU Park to SE. They will not be dumb enough to do this.[/quote]

And why would this be such as bad thing?  DCPS would become more diverse, with more inclusive access to top performing schools.[/quote]

DCPS would become less diverse under such a plan. Exponentially so.[/quote]

It depends on your view what diversity is.  It would certainly accelerate DCPS becoming anti-racist.[/quote]

A school system exclusively populated by poor black and brown kids is neither diverse nor anti-racist.[/quote]

Yes, this is what DC schools were like when I was coming up. They were not diverse or anti racist. They were underperforming and scary. Those of us who could went to parochials and privates. My parochial that I attended was all middle and lower middle class black families, fleeing .[/quote]
