Michelle Obama joins D.C. students for their march to mail college applications
WAPO ^ | Dec. 5, 2014 | Michael Alison Chandler

The seniors at Capital City Public Charter School experienced the usual wave of relief and anticipation after mailing off college applications Friday, as well as an added surprise: a hug from Michelle Obama.

The first lady came to their school in Northwest Washington to take part in what has become an annual tradition at some schools across the country — the College March.

Before she arrived, the seniors paraded through the hallways with college applications in hand while underclassmen cheered them along. At most schools, the march culminates at a nearby mailbox or post office. On Friday, the seniors at Capital City dropped their applications in a mailbox set up on a stage in the gymnasium, where Obama greeted them.

Yes. March on. March on toward that goal of a useless liberal arts degree. March on to many tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt. March on to that eventual job at Walmart or the Gap. March on.

A charter school?
This must be another school for the children of those Inner Party members exempt from things like Common Core indoctrination, or, how the mediocre-at-best state monopoly on (mis)management of education was federalized.

Only good things can happen now for prole children, comrades!

Because the world needs more Social Workers, Psychologists, African and Gender Studies and Social Biodiversity majors.

They are the ones who will be the backbone of the industrial and technical powerhouse that will face off with the Sino-Indian-Russian military and technocratic juggernaut of the coming century.

Notice please she does this at a charter school. If she went to a regular DC high school like Eastern her parade would be about three people and booed for “acting white”

DC is always 49th or 50th in school performance
