[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The strongest signal to students of color that they are (still) welcome at Wilson is to select a person of color as the new principal.[/quote]

And the strongest signal to everyone that education matters is to pick the most qualified candidate regardless of ethnicity. [/quote]

You must just don't get DC.[/quote]

This explains why most dc schools are failures. Color is more important than quality and competence.[/quote]

Sigh. Again, a case of the blind leading the blind. [i]If[/i] color were more important than quality and competence, [i]then[/i] it might explain the failure of some DC schools. But, there is actually no evidence that color is more important than competence (well, other than a poster up thread "heard" it from some unknown source).  There is, however, evidence that low performing DC schools are full of impoverished kids who frequently lack the support systems of students at higher-performing schools. But, let's ignore that and focus on the unsupported fact that somebody heard from someone.
