[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And then there are those of us who think, like voter fraud, it's not that widespread and doesn't really matter. This is about kids. All kids. You entirely miss my point as well. You think the think tank your husband works for is a model of efficiency? You think your job as a marketing manager for an educational consulting business with a government contract is vital? You think both of you aren't also wading into the public trough? [/quote]

The assumptions you make about my gender, marital status and employement say more about you than about me.

The difference between residency cheating and voter fraud are that anti voter fraud efforts have been shown to have a racial minority and low income disenfranchisement effect, and republican strategists have occasionally let their guard down and all but admitted that this is the intent. Whereas anti residency fraud efforts do not deny minority or low income kids an education. As discussed, the parents who cheat are not low income. FARM paperwork is much more demanding than residency verification paperwork (income tax returns etc), so you can bet that the cheaters are not FARM qualifying. Rather, they are middle class people stealing spots from DC FARM kids, if they cheat their way into waitlist schools. And to the extent they are racial minorities, again, they have school options where they live. So I think this is a case of misplaced liberal values. I share your values but think that you are incorrectly applying them to residency fraud.
