[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And then [b]when you think about what DCPS has sunk into Ellington and Dunbar[/b], you come to the conclusion that Bowser and DCPS hate young non-poor children.[/quote]

Most of those decisions predate Bowser; it's the old "Chocolate City" Democrat machine in action. Now personified in Bowser.

What would it take for a more capable and inclusive leader to win DC's Democratic primary next time?

Bowser was on the Council, so she is not blameless.

I think Catania would have been more capable and inclusive.[/quote]

But he was running as an Independent. We need someone able to win the Democratic primary.

Or, as some PPs pointed earlier, a good lawsuit against the city.

No taxation without representation.[/quote]

Why not start by dragging Mary Cheh to an urgent meeting with Murch parents, and demanding that $10 million be shaved from Duke Ellington's "bling palace" project and re-allocated to Murch?!  What would be a modest cut for Ellington (currently about a $200 million renovation and still climbing ) would mean a very significant difference to Murch.[/quote]

Sure.

Additionally, if I were a Murch parent, I'd mobilize neighbors and work with lawyers to find ways to pay lower property taxes, and fund the Munch renovation directly.[/quote]

Murch helped sue the city long ago on facilities. That is what got the city-wide modernization process going. Now, everyone has suggestions for how the Murch community should try to fix the process for the city again.

Honestly, it is easier to move. Many have. More may. But it is a great school and a great community, so I hope people don't give up.[/quote]
