Well, Cheh seems to be part of the process leading to potential change - that's why she wrote the letter to start with, and she is providing specific reassurances. So, my point is, she will no longer win Ward 3 elections if she is hurting the interests of a broad group of ward 3 parents. Unless, somehow Ward 3 gets rezoned too to exclude those parents from ward 3 voting.[/quote]

When the brouhaha over Hardy was going on 2-3 years ago, Cheh refused to take the side of her constituents and voted in favor of the resolution calling for the reinstatement of the Hardy principal. In the 2010 election she did very poorly south of Massachusetts and lost Spring Valley outright to a very weak candidate.[/quote]

Exactly. And getting south ward 3 out of Deal and Wilson boundaries would mobilize many more parents than the Hardy principal affair. Parents who, btw, wouldn't be fooled as 15.31 seems to believe.[/quote]

Doesn't matter.  DC is not going to present an image that reminds everyone of the little girls who died in Birmingham just because they wanted to attend a white school.  Eaton and Hearst will be the mostly likely to get flushed.  After that, Lafayette is ripe for re-districting.

What shouldn't, can't, and won't happen is the all-white middle school of the people-who-should-just-move-to-the-suburbs' dreams.  Maybe you can get away with that in Alabama?  But not in DC.  Some white kids will be getting kicked out of Deal.[/quote]
