[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]once again - the "apparent scope" of the fraud is being grossly inflated by people with an agenda. DC appears to be taking appropriate action. Please move on to something else. [/quote]
What "agenda" do you think is being pushed?  I see articles from Daily Caller, the Post, and other sources all saying that there are some bad apples cheating DCPS and the people of DC by fraudulently enrolling their children at DCPS even though they really live outside of DC.  I don't see any secret agenda being pushed, other than the desire to address residency fraud.

If you think there's a secret agenda, then you should tell us all what you think it is, and you should put forward your proof of that supposed agenda.[/quote]

see above! it's about DC statehood.[/quote]

This. The Daily Caller's numbers aren't REAL NUMBERS. They don't prove ANYTHING. They don't even add up. They grossly inflated the dollar amount per pupil, and they wave their hands and say 40% of all cars from "some" schools, and you think that is a fact? Yes, they found one family admitting to cheating and circumstantial evidence about another family. That is not proof of a vast conspiracy, it is barely proof of anything at all. Write a story using actual numbers and I'll pay attention. They can't do that, because they can't prove them. And, frankly, there ARE a lot of nebulous cases, where kids are staying with caregivers, where transportation is up in the air, etc. Any search for actual scofflaws needs to acknowledge DC's own investigations, and reasons why some children might be in a car with out of state plates and it might not be fraud.

And, for the fiftieth damn time, I am not a PG resident, not black, not poor. [/quote]
