[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That the loss of proximate access will result in significant financial stress for parents who now have to arrange transport to distant schools and lose having an older sibling close by so have to pay for aftercare. And that the overcrowding is artificially created in the first case. [/quote]

Great. What's your
 cause of action?[/quote]$$$ this lottery would amount to a new tax, inequitably applied[/quote]

Only if you regard your IB status at a school as a property right. However, the law doesn't see it that way. [/quote]

Whoever is writing this doesn't seem to understand that an alleged [b]violation of equal protection is enough to get a case through the court's door[/b], as long as some evidence of harm can be shown in the pleadings.  S/he seems to think the case would be analogous to a garden-variety zoning case, when it's not, [b]it's about application of education policy.[/b][/quote]

Um.  Hmmm.

Are you aware that there are families in several other areas of the city with subpar DCPS options for middle and high school?

Is it your opinion that those families are receiving an equitable application of education policy?  Do you feel that the DC government should value a family that rents an apartment near Mann over a family that pays property taxes on a house near Powell or Maury or--heck, even Cleveland or Tubman where one can't find a house under $900K?

Is it really the belief of most Ward 3 parents that everyone EOTP is poor, AA and low performing?

Is it really the belief of most Ward 3 parents that every student EOTP who is poor, AA and low performing is undeserving of a quality education or simply should not get one if it interferes in any way with the residents WOTP? (As determined by residents WOTP)

My real curiosity is about how you identify and treat AA families from high income, high standard households who live WOTP. (The ones that haven't gone private).  Do they also get the "we're not racists, we just value our children" spiel when you attempt to omit them from your lawsuit keychain parties?[/quote]
