[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has said DCPS and he knows his predecessor got fired for messing with this. You all can go ferret out the answer, but I'm pretty assured that this isn't the issue to spend your time on.[/quote]

Why not? The last chancellor got fired for messing around with this. Actually, I'd love a good excuse to get Ferebee fired.[/quote]

Why?![/quote]

Because PP won’t be happy with a chancellor until they’re white.[/quote]

you hit the nail on the head.   :thumbup: [/quote]

Wait.

You folks think that the fact we've had 3 black superintendents in a row is because they are the most qualified candidates in the land?

[/quote]

No truly qualified candidates are going to take a position where they report to a mayor's deputy, not directly to a mayor or a school board. So the pool is narrow to begin with. Design fall in our system, although we've tried every configuration under the sun over the years with largely the same results.[/quote]

Wait.

You are saying that black candidates are dumber than others?[/quote]

Basically. This not so subtle racism is what continues to persist with DC elite.[/quote]

No, no.  My read: PPP is saying the ‘racism’ is that the Mayor’s top criterion for Chancellor is that he is a black. (If the Mayor were simply seeking the most qualified candidates, they would not all be black because demographics.)

No again. [b]I was saying that this is a position that no one SHOULD want.[/b] It is high visibility, but an app wful reporting structure.

Rhee had no experience. Henderson was promoted from within by a previous mayor. Her days were numbered from the get-go. Wilson seems to have left Oakland / come here before a budget mess came to light. Ferrebee left a brewing scandal over how a sexual impropriety incident was handled.

DP here, but that's how I read your post, PP. Not sure why some other poster threw race in there and derailed the topic. To add, of course there are qualified black candidates, but they don't even want to apply because it's a built-for-failure position. We seem to get the chancellors who are either escaping scandal and/or wouldn't have these same opportunities elsewhere.[/quote]
