They should just help them realize they may not encounter as many obstacles in their lives.

Have you ever seen interviews of white teenagers saying they have never seen any racist stuff going on at their schools? They usually say, “No”. Then, the camera turns around and asks some POC the same question. Totally different answer.

You are very naive if you think you don't need to teach white teenagers to be careful in their interactions with police. I lived in a majority white neighborhood and knew a white teenage girl the cops pulled out of the driver's side window because she was nervous and moved too quickly for the glove compartment.

I am a white, female, senior citizen. My dad taught me when I began driving what to do when a policeman pulls me over. 1) keep hands visible--on the wheel. 2) do what the policeman tells you to do. 3) don't argue.

And, contrary to what some people seem to think, even white women get pulled over. I haven't been pulled over often-but I have had a speeding ticket or two or more. I still do what my dad taught me. I guess that is privilege to have had a dad who taught me appropriate behavior. Unlike Ms Omeish who obviously never learned that lesson.

Also how do you win? The person who covers the most squares? What is the assumption here that only white lids grow up in stable 2 parent homes with college educated parents who go to work? This is example of why I don’t back any of the CRT type lessons. They are so bizarre and random but white democrats love it bc it makes them feel woke. Imagine being the non white kids during these classes?

If better more accurate history books are needed, the. get those but skip these nonsense lessons.

The military kids in Oakton are likely to be children of officers.

And college is basically taken care of for them. That's huge.

What are you talking about? This is false.

Don't bother retorting with facts. These clowns just name call because they know they're wrong.

Federalist is an explicitly conservative information outlet. It's not the same as the Atlantic. You can argue Atlantic is liberal leaning, but their op eds are not the same as their investigative journalism. The latter are sourced and cited, and you are free to check those. But, just b/c/ you disagree with them doesn't mean they are not accurate. It's also not our problem you cannot distinguish between facts and opinions. You may wanna work at that. As well as your arguments, like the ones in your post, which are simple-minded at best.

Sounds like being a "military kid" has its privileges with respect to in-state tuition eligibility:

Where Military Dependents Receive In-State Tuition

The good news is, your military children getting ready to go to college do have some options, even more than civilian kids do when it comes to paying in-state tuition rates. You could say that military children are at an advantage here.

The first thing to keep in mind is that a student’s residence does depend on their parents. If any parent of a college-age student is a resident of Virginia, their kids could go to schools in Virginia and pay the in-state tuition. If a civilian family then moved to Florida, it would take a year for them to establish residency in the new state. Their children couldn’t just start at a college in Florida and then start paying in-state tuition right away.

Different Qualifications For Military Families

For military families, this is a bit different. Military students are not only eligible for in-state tuition where they have been living with their parents but also where their active duty parent’s state of legal residence or domicile is. Different states do have different requirements so that is also something to keep in mind.

Because of the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, states need to offer in-state tuition to military family members who live in the state due to their active duty military service. This means that for any active duty service member, his or her spouse and dependents at any public college or university where they are stationed for 30+ days should be able to receive the in-state tuition rate. States do need to accept certain types of federal funding for this to qualify.

What if Military Parent is Then Stationed Somewhere Else?

Military family members can then continue using the in-state tuition rate as long as they are continuously enrolled in the school, even if their mom or dad gets stationed somewhere else. That means that if a child starts college in Virginia, getting the in-state tuition because their dad is stationed there, they can stay at that college with the in-state tuition even if dad gets stationed in another state during their college years. They could also transfer to a school in the same state that their parents move to and qualify for in-state there, instead of having to wait.

This gives the military child options and avoids the worry that a parent could get orders during their college years, making college more expensive to pay for. This also allows a military child to think about going to school in their parent’s home of record, which could be closer to other family members or even where the parents plan to end up after military life is over.

In addition to all of this, some schools offer in-state tuition to those who are using a transferred GI Bill. So, even if your child can’t receive in-state tuition somewhere, they might be able to do this if you have transferred your GI Bill to them.

People really think this is worth it for putting your kids through multiple moves, parental deployment(s), disability and/or death? Having one parent stay back with teenage kids to finish out their high school year(s) while other parent moves to new job? Whatever.

PP - with this level of privilege - I wonder if the recruiters in the county are really busy today - I mean all those people wanting to join to give their children such a privilege upbringing have to be causing a surge.

It is not that simple in Virginia.

Military kids are denied in state tuition in Virginia schools often

Someone that implies that a military child is privileged has never experienced either being one or watching their child try to adapt to their 14th school by the time they are a senior.

I think they were referring to the 15% military discount at Lululemon as privilege😁

I never knew you could transfer a portion of your GI bill to a spouse or child.

My guess that the "privilege" argument for military children would have to do with food/healthcare/low crime, but ignores all the instability and isolation such as living overseas, being a constant outsider in a new school, parental deployments for years etc.
