[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, as long as measures were taken to ensure strong minority representation, as in the high-octane Chicago middle and high school magnets.  I also think that DC might elect a white mayor in the not-so-distant future.  AAs are only around 45% of the city population now and dropping.  This is definitely not the city I moved to 30 years ago.[/quote]

You don’t get it. The white folks on the council, on the SBOE, at central office or as mayor are/would be more adamantly against test-in programs than black folks. Like I said, it’s complicated.[/quote]

I'm an ANC commissioner who gets it.  It's complicated mainly because Bowser isn't an education mayor.  Once she's gone, a new mayor could change a great deal.  Remember how Fenty would send aides to Portland and Seattle to study up on street cars, public hybrid car charging stations and state-of-the art recreation centers, how he doubled DDOT's budget in a single year?  None of that was expected.  The Council and the SBOE march to mayor's drummer on education as long as mayor control remains.[/quote]
