[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the transplant whites in DC are definitely a type. they live in the city for 10 years and don't need city services other than the bus/metro and have no idea what is going on in schools, with the poor, etc. They love DC for the great restaurants and cultural stuff. And now that their kid is in a public they finally stop being a tourist. [/quote] Dislike them all you want, their kids like all kids in the city are entitled to a free and appropriate public education and that’s not happening right now.[/quote] +1. As the federal capital, the city was established to be a place of transplants. There is nothing to scoff at about people coming here for 10 or fewer years. They are as much DC citizens as people who have lived here for their entire lives. You may not like it, but, again, that is the whole purpose of the federal capital. Oh, and not all of the ‘transplants’ are white.[/quote]
