[quote=Anonymous]I would rather my tax dollars not support a baseball stadium, multiple wars, Adrian Fenty's heated swimming pool, and sundry. However, I accept that in a representative democracy, various processes are established for approving or rejecting expenditures and initiatives, including charter schools. I was initially on the fence about the Hebrew charter (as I am about charter schools generally - being the child of two former DCPS teachers), now I support the school. I agree with statements that people who oppose the school had ample opportunity to participate in the process, and for whatever reason, chose not to. Accordingly, with charter granted, I think we should all band together and support the school - and hold them accountable if their test scores do not meet national standards. I suspect we will all be surprised on that front. [/quote]
