[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So their peer group is good enough to live around but not attend school with? Man are some of you rationalizing for the privilege of a cute 1200 Sqft rowhome and a Hill address which is just about all of DC east of North/South Captiol st these days. [/quote]

What does this even mean? Are you suggesting that families who live on CH are doing playdates and hanging out with low-SES kids but unwilling to go to school with them? That's not how it works. Setting aside what others have explained to you (that the schools in question are OOB so your argument fails immediately), merely living on the same street or walking past people does not require sharing a vision for acceptable behavior or focus on education. I live around lots of people I say "hello" to, but my kids aren't at their houses playing because "eff this" and "mother effer" that and eating marshmallows for breakfast is not something I'm ok with, regardless of race. My kids also don't go to houses of people who are Trump fans that espouse openly racist beliefs. I don't want my kids in a classroom where somehow people like you rationalize poor classroom management and poor educational outcomes as somehow being "equity" or in furtherance of some progressive agenda. It is regressive to suggest that poor behavior or bad educational outcomes are somehow a badge of honor for the black community. Talk about rationalizing!

I can live wherever the heck I want. I don't need to apologize or rationalize for the privilege to live where I want and send my kids to schools where I want. I'm betting you spend a lot of time around white folks who ask you how to be an ally and kiss your a** and tell you how your mangled equity quotes motivate them. I ain't that woman.     [/quote]
