Good luck with that.  Tommy Wells has political ambitions, and they won't be realized by satisfying the whims of upper SES white folks on the Hill.  [b]A school such as that is a zero/sum game, and lower SES residents will see it for exactly what it is. [/b] Kaya Henderson also has to look at the entire system from a similar perspective, they are allied in this.

Also, it gets old hearing about what won't fly in Upper Caucasia.  That part of DC has always been white and upper or at least middle SES.  The political dynamics and school histories are COMPLETELY different.  Stop comparing apples to submarines.

A school like what?  One most of the actual neighborhood residents send their kids to?  Horrible.  Where's the zero sum game if low-income residents attend, too, as at Brent?  Poor families there are complaining bitterly about the well-stocked music and art rooms, the lovely playground, the pullout math groups for advanced and struggling learners alike?  SWS is poised to become the next Brent or Maury, and so it should.

Wells' political ambitions will get him nowhere.  He is disliked and distrusted by too many of his own constituents, and fellow council members.  Being white is the least of his problems as a pol.  Kaya has no future beyond Gray, he may not run again and, if he does, he'll go down if he faces a challenger with a pulse.
