[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least he is not Petrelli, writing a book about school diversity and then moving to Montgomery County. [/quote]

Yes, that was awful.[/quote]

Why?  Did he say that parents had an obligation to send their kids to diverse schools, even in a world where most schools were not diverse?  Or was it a descriptive book, or one about public policy?   [/quote]

It sounds from the blurb like he did NOT say that parents had an obligation to send their kids to diverse schools. Ergo, I do not see why it is awful that he moved to Bethesda. [/quote]

people should live wherever the hell they want.  he has no obligation

but as a community oriented blog that makes a big deal of promoting neighborhoods[b] he totally dumped on his neighborhood schools,[/b] whether that was the intention or not.  [/quote]

First of all the comment above yours was about Pirelli, not about DS.  You are getting confused.

Secondly, DS runs a blog that talks about neighborhoods across DC, from Anacostia to Upper NW.

Thirdly he did not dump on Bruce Monroe, he chose to send his CHILDREN to a school where he (and his wife, who for some reason people are ignoring - perhaps she did not like Bruce Monroe?) thought they would do well.   No one is obligated to use their children to communicate something.   No one.  [/quote]
