It’s come down to this: Cops in the D.C. Public Schools (DCPS):
The Williams administration was scrambling yesterday to assemble a plan of action in response to the Ballou High School shootings — which killed 17-year-old James Richardson and wounded a second student — and to the community outrage that followed. At a six-hour public meeting Tuesday night, the mayor was pilloried as uncaring and ineffective.
I’ve compared D.C. Dems who oppose school vouchers to George “Segregation Forever!” Wallace for blocking doors to keep kids from fleeing failing schools the way Wallace did during the Civil Rights movement to keep them out. Many school reform advocates compare them to prison guards and jailers. The irony is that the DCPS really will resemble jails with armed law enforcement on the premises. What a shame.
