An Apple for Miss Jenna? Bush Eyes Washington Teaching Job
Waashington Post ^ | Dec 15, 2004 | Richard Leiby

First daughter Jenna Bush, who put her career plans on hold while campaigning to reelect her father, has decided to live in Washington and plans to teach at a District public school that serves low-income children. The White House would not release details yesterday, but we've learned that she has applied to teach at Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School in the Mount Pleasant/Columbia Heights neighborhood.

The school's founder and executive director, Linda Moore, wouldn't confirm Bush's employment, saying: "We don't discuss the relationship between a prospective employee and the school until we have a formal agreement. This is not something I'm at liberty to discuss."

Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for first lady Laura Bush, yesterday would say only that Jenna "will live in Washington and will go to work at a public school."

The Elsie Whitlow Stokes school has 250 pupils enrolled in kindergarten through sixth grade, features immersion classes in Spanish and French, and emphasizes community service. Its children, who are largely Hispanic and African American, visit soup kitchens and participate in an annual walk for the homeless.

And why does the comPost feel the need to reveal this information.

Hoping Jesse Jackson will rush to the school and object?

OK, but it's still just symbolic. She doesn't have to worry about getting knifed with those two Secret Service agents standing on either side of the classroom. ;)

I'd rather see her not playing the liberals' game, and just getting a job teaching in a suburban private school, if teaching is her career goal.

Zeus forbid that a conservative might care about minority education.

I suspect since she is teaching in a public school she will not run across any Senator or Congressman's children.
