[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Lewis-George is about as left wing as they come. She will keep schools as is. She will adamantly oppose raising academic standards or flunking kids or creating admissions standards for some schools. People like her see all that as racist because it will disproportionately hurt black kids. [/quote]

Source? Or just your perception based on....?  She is a Walls graduate and sounds like she had a positive experience so I'm curious where you are coming from other the progressive label.[/quote]

It’s her affiliation with the Democratic Socialists. “Elected in November 2020, George became the first self-described democratic socialist to serve as a member of the Council since Hilda Mason was defeated for re-election in 1998.”

The Democratic Socialists in DC are extremely progressive. They have been vocal against school measurement, standardized testing, charters. I don’t know if she shares all of their views but when I read concerns of Bowser being in developers’ pocket, I wonder what it could mean in the next mayor is beholden to democratic socialists.
