[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something centered around swapping part of Howard Law for old Banneker might work, although I would hope to save that site for another magnet school.

Finding real estate is the easy part! Have you met the groups of people this satisfies?[/quote]

What about moving UDC, which hardly has any students in Ward 3?  That large parcel could be a great site for several schools, recreational facilities and redevelopment along Conn. Ave.  Mayor Williams proposed moving UDC to the St. Elizabeths campus to be closer to the population that UDC serves.[/quote]

Well, aren’t these two posts just the perfect encapsulation of racist DCUM bullshit?

I mean, why wouldn’t we just uproot established schools that primarily serve black students because we have the sads that Deal has trailers again?

Do you all hear yourselves? It’s shameful.

NP.  Your righteous indignation is misplaced and I don't think Mayor Williams was racist.  If most of the students were commuting from SE or other areas far from Van Ness, it might be better for them to move it to a new location.  This board is filled with people obsessed with limiting commute time.  This would be particularly valuable for students who likely have jobs as well to balance and would be most impacted by higher commute costs.

There may be reasons that this isn't a good idea.  Maybe they have internships or other programs established with the existing location that would be unwise to disrupt.  But it is not an idea that can or should be dismissed with a casual accusation of racism.[/quote]
