[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Courtney Snowden's explanation from her FB page: 
"First, let me thank you for the overwhelming out pouring of support. I love my boys, and being their mom has truly been the greatest honor of my life. Like every parent, I take the responsibility of raising my babies very seriously. You know that, if you don't know anything else about me.

Second, let me just clear up some facts. I went through the lottery, as every parent interested in a DC Public School placement does. To my knowledge, my baby was not matched to any school.

As is the right of any District parent, I petitioned DCPS to secure a discretionary placement, and I am grateful that Chancellor Henderson was able to assist in securing a seat at a school that fit my child's unique needs.

Some of you are aware of some of the challenges Malik experienced in his previous school, and I am so grateful that DCPS has such wonderfully diverse options to meet the needs of students with different learning styles.

Now, back to the work of expanding opportunity for every single District resident in all 8 wards."

What's most disturbing about all of this is that NONE of them—Beers, Henderson, Snowden—think they did anything wrong.

Who is "Beers"? Nathaniel Beers? Did he also get special treatment for his children? I genuinely think families who were shut out of the lottery this year (and anyone else who wants) should file a class action suit against the District and name Kaya any anyone else involved in this scam. [/quote]
