Of course it's Public Schools.

I see Federally mandated school choice and school vouchers on the horizon.

Public School is Child Abuse.

Well, I can’t speak to the other bands mentioned, but the Eastern High School “band” “marches” past my house regularly when they are out practicing. I think the Inaugural Parade can live with the loss.

"....DC marching bands want no part in Trump's inauguration...."

We want no DC bands as part of Trump's inauguration. So there.

Thank goodness!

I can visit the National zoo anytime. Why screw up the presidential inauguration of the first American since Bush.

Don’t need marching bands.

All they need is The O’Jays.

DC public schools are about 90 to 95% students of color. So it’s no surprise, and no one needs to become excited over it.

So bring in the marching bands from the red states. In fact, move the inauguration to a red state...

These blue states are afraid, and they should be.

Payback time....MeanTime....

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Maybe they can go march in Syria, Sudan or Somalia.

Combined General and Maryland "Freak State" PING!

[morphing libertarian]

Are there no private or catholic schools in the area with bands. So what if the pubs don’t want to march. How bout WV or Penn?
