[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As I posted before, private schools should give DC residents either a break in tuition, a preference in application, or a combination of both.  we all know they don't HAVE to.  Its more of a question of what they Should Do.

Personally, I think private schools should have to publish a list of how many DC residents BY Ward they enroll in order to keep their tax exempt status.  What public good are they achieving in DC by educating MD and VA youth.[/quote]

[b]Oh, puleeze.   It's thoughts like this that keep DC from having full voting rights. [/b] You think that the city government should get to pick and choose tax exempt status based on their subjective assessment of the relative good that a school is providing to the city?  All that would lead to is private schools admitting a bunch of offspring of Mayor Fenty's fraternity brothers (even though their parents could afford tuition anywhere, based on the lucrative city contracts the mayor swings their way).   Whether a group is tax exempt should not be subject to political whims.  [b]Grow up, and in few years, we'll reconsider giving you more of a voting responsibility.[/b]  [/quote]

Really?  I was unaware voting rights were contingent upon prudently exercising them. [/quote]

Someone call in the Teabaggers!  I'm sure they'll want to know about this egregious breech of our fundamental rights!  What's that?  They heard there were some black folk living in DC, so they're not coming?!?
