[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]whether forced or voluntary, it's still segregation.[/quote]Yep, it's called "de facto" (happens despite lack of legally enforced segregation) and "de jure" (segregation by law). Totally not a new concept and de facto segregation still exists in DC, whatever you want to call it. [/quote]

I disagree. These divisions are economic and have nothing to do with race. Poor people come in all races. Where I came from, the poor were white and lived in the "projects" section of town. There are amny sections of twon that I would love to live in but cannot afford. The fact is that DC residents have much more social supports and resources to take advantage of than most places in the country.

Instead of complaining about being "victims", how about taking some responsibility and take advantage of all of the resources that are available in DC to help lift one's self out of poverty???

As for justice for all students, I do believe in radical school choice that includes public schools, charter schools, and vouchers. I also believe that schools should be funded equitably.[/quote]
