[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Forget the language.  Hold DCPS accountable for the poor use of resources.  DCPS spends the most for students - is getting a ton more federal cash as we speak.  Instead of bashing white people - try holding the folks in charge of the schools accountable.  Start there.  The ugliness needs to stop.  [/quote]

Yes, toxic racial politics do NOTHING for any of the kids actually attending DCPS. Hold this school system accountable for providing a solid education to all students, in all wards. It doesn’t help anyone to pull down schools that are actually functioning despite the drama. With all the money spent on improvements in schools east of the park, what is going wrong that DCPS still feels the need to push students out of neighborhood schools east of the river into ward 3 schools?? [/quote]

Read what you wrote. What are you saying would pull down schools that are actually functioning? How am I supposed to infer you mean anything other than east of the river kids attending them?

You got angry when DCPS acknowledged that segregation is happening, and is getting worse. The segregation is the toxic racial politics, not talking about it.[/quote]

I totally disagree that the segregation (based on people attending their IB school) is the toxic issue. The toxic issue is - why are schools in Ward 7 and 8 so very bad that parents are willing to get their kids literally across town on multiple buses and trains to Ward 3? Why do we assume that majority black institutions can just fail and we’ll blame the majority white institutions? [/quote]
