There are plenty of ways that our city can foment "exposure" without misguided and doomed to backfire communist like techniques . [b]Charter schools and voucher choices were one of the best ways to broaden educational-geographical offerings in our city in a long time, along with the lottery system.[/b] Folks have far more say and.mobility in their kids choices, without being forced into something. As to housing, the city could use their excess funds for specific groups of people (long time residents, rent to buy etc) rather than just encouraging rampant building that will provide more housing to yuppies from Arlington .[/quote]

Vouchers were created as a way for middle class white people to flee integrated public schools.  They are 100% a tool for supporting segregation.

Integrating public schools has nothing to do with communism.  Equality of opportunity is one of the central organizing ideas of the United States.[/quote]

lOL LOL LOL my parochial school.in DC was all black. Show me one white person in DC using vouchers. You are hilarious! And I have zero issue with anyone 'fleeing' public schools. The Obama's and Clinton's sure did![/quote]
