[quote=Anonymous][quote]I have no particular interest in this issue, but nonetheless find your propaganda offensive to everyone's intelligence.

And, if you actually bothered to read the WTU questionnaire, you would see "exactly [what] she means". For example, "We should explore other funding models that incorporate average daily membership across the full school year (for both sectors) to ensure fairness and predictability." How is that a bad idea vs. basing school funding based on a single count day at the beginning of the year?

DC doesn't need a mayor that is "a friend to the charter sector". DC needs a mayor that is supportive of an improving the quality of public education, regardless of whether that education is provided by DCPS or charters.[/quote]

I did read the questionnaire answers and you are trying to sidestep my questions and deal in generalities.    I would like to hear specifically how JLG has been supportive of the charter sector.    Yes, all of public education in DC is important.    But the reality is that 45% of the students accessing public education in the District of Columbia attend charter schools.   Mayoral support of the charter school sector is of importance to those families.   If JLG cannot openly express support for the charter sector, then that is of concern because it suggests that she would be much more beholden to her WTU endorsers and their anti-charter positions.

And to the PP who said that the anti-JLG positions were all coordinated, I would agree with the responding poster who noted the tendency of the JLG camp to vilify anyone who disagrees with their policy positions---which is what you are trying to do with me with your "offensive to everyone's intelligence" type rhetoric.  Unfortunately, the progressive left in DC is similar to the far right in that type of behavior---anyone who doesn't automatically fall in line with their positions needs to be demonized.  [/quote]
