If Palin lived in Washington, DC, she would not send her kids to public school.

Local news in Virginia------------ Obama is considering Georgetown Day for his girls or the exclusive Sidwell Friends begun as a Quaker school-----both in the safe sections of D.C. D.C. Public Schools had received no contact from Obama and Michelle as of a couple of days ago. That is really too bad------if Obama sent his daughters to a D.C. Public School much would be done to further the concepts of "Change and Hope" for the predominantly black children of Washington, D.C. Any school that his daughters would go to would have immediate FBI and security protection as they went to school. The school would be the safest in D.C. to attend and gain an education. No longer would the streets near a school be rampant with drug dealers-----no longer would a teacher have to fear for their lives in walking from their car to the school or staying an extra half hour to tutor a student. Neighborhoods in the area would see a revitalization as people would want to have a home in the school district. Why hasn't Obama not talked to the D.C. public schools??? mj

That's a silly statement. I live in an area where the public schools are outstanding. So my kids went to public schools, prior to going to college. If I had to move to D.C. where the schools are shit, and if I could afford to send my kids to private schools, then I'd do so. No self-respecting parent would send their kids to inferior schools just to prove a point. That's just silly. It's also extremely hypocritical of you, as a fervent representative of Republicans, to start accusing Obama of a choice he has yet to make, when Republicans are the ones who have gutted funding for schools across the country and failed to fund No Child Left Behind. It's a little like the pot calling the kettle black.
