[quote=Anonymous]I'm AA and long-time Barry basher after living through the Crack Wars and his hypocrisy. But as a parent who respects the Chancellor and other locals, I'm trying to withhold judgement on her responses. The email was seven sentences with three photos of Barry, but more of students, added to the the monthly system-wide email. By contrast, the DCPS website press release title and text emphasize the celebrations were at Ward 8 schools for the Ward 8 council member. Henderson's comments in the release are not 100% positive, even though she was a close friend. But even if she did issue nothing but hagiography, it doesn't matter. She's not running the Op Ed page of the Post. A public school system email is not an appropriate place for a full-blown expose of political malfeasance. That said, it is possible to show sensitivity to the grieving even if we don't fully respect the person they are grieving for. I'm holding my tongue on Barry. For now.[/quote]
