[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the negativity against BASIS DC?.  Here's why? They screwed with two things that rile people (a) their children and (b) their money

(b)  BASIS DC screws with peoples money.

- BASIS DC misuses tax payer dollars by essentially giving rich white kids a private school education. Why is it ok that BASIS DC uses [b]the money, paid in taxes, from poor black families from Anacostia [/b]so rich white kids from NW can have a free education.  What's worse many of these poor black kids made up the high attrition rate that BASIS DC experienced.  They made it difficult for these kids to succeed.  They set them up for failure, forced them to leave but pocketed the federal money they got for these kids.

They're spreading the misuse of tax payer dollars for rich white kids like Great Heart is doing in San Antonio.  Choose to Succeed donated to Great Heart.  But guess what?  they also donated to BASIS to spread the white love in Texas

AA poster here.  Would like to clarify that "poor black families in Anacostia" do not pay income taxes other than payroll taxes which goes to fund their Social Security.  Not sure how many of these "poor" familes are paying property taxes.  Education is only "free" for those that don't pay taxes.  All kids whose parents actually pay tazes pay for public education for their kids and the poor kids who get the public education for "free."

They pay sales taxes on everything they purchase. [/quote]
