[Anonymous]

The thread title made me gasp, Joss Wheedon is in DC? With a kid? Oh well.

They were always going to do that.

Of course, but this way there was more attention drawn to the fact that white liberals living in DC are the biggest hypocrites in the region.

In their hearts, they love gentrification, and it is only about "diversity" for them until they decide, well, it isn't.

The extreme disconnect between what people claim to believe and actually practice is what makes this board so much fun, especially when it manifests in people like Weedon who have been frustrated for years that they can’t just demand by fiat that others do what he never would.

This is not a political forum. Go the f away.


Don’t you have a white hood to iron, baby to cage, pedophile to support for senate?

No one in dc wants you.

- no fan of Joe Weedon but not going to let some racist republican act like he’s a hypocrite when these “family first” types are separating families at the border.

He's actually what he claims to be he's against. A white guy trying to make a school better so his kid can actually attend it

And then when the school still isn't good enough he seeks a better option. Why did she take the WALLS test otherwise

You said it. Bingo.

Why is that bad? Joe did a lot at Eastern through non-profits before joining the PTO. I remember him working on helping to set up the library and get internships for Wilson kids. I helped too. Did you?

Yes I did. I help my children’s charter so much I practically live there.

But the article makes it sound like this is what his rising high schooler wants. He should take his daughter’s opinion into consideration when making a choice about schools. That’s what a good parent would do even if it goes against your policy preferences.

The article clearly indicated that his daughter would prefer Eastern:

"Malia — a confident, self-described nerd — said she would rather go to Eastern and commute by foot each day. "

OMG. Good catch; I forgot that in all the posts. But didn’t she also say she worried about the education?

Yes. It wasn’t a quote but the article said she wanted a row challenging academic experience than she had at EH.

She is the type of “limousine liberal” that is almost a parody. She went to a school like GDS in Chicago, then on to Harvard and Chicago and the non-profit world. And she’s white. Makes her living in the non-profit sector, go figure.

So, if the daughter wants to go to a school outside of their boundary, how does that make Weedon a hypocrite? Are posters on here suggesting that he should force his daughter, a high school student, to go to Eastern to “keep it real”? Because that’s stupid. And that quote from Malia just shows that’s she torn about being separated from her community school and friends but the rest of the article suggests she wanted to go to a more challenging school.

What you’re missing is that Weedon did this, over and over again to others.

I don't know Joe Weedon but he sounds just like someone we have WOTP - Rachel Laser. She lectured us on white privilege, white atonement, white fragility, "equity", and the supposed evils of tracking (i.e., honors classes), and then shoved the ludicrous "Honors for All" down Wilson High School's throat and wrapped it "equity" to squash discussion. To top it off, she sends her child to the $40k/year private Georgetown Day School (GDS) instead of Wilson which is akin to a super strong version of tracking. You can't make this shit up. These people have no shame.

That is fantastic news! This was definitely not happening even @ 10 years ago when the “stroller brigades” began.

That is just so offensive. She sounds horrible.

Wow. This just gives credence to all who called him a hypocrite.

They were always going to do that.

Saw it coming a million miles away.

David Grosso has my permission to stand on Weedon's coffee table in his Birkenstocks and call him a racist.

He did do a lot of good and that good is not negated by his current decision.

But he also acted really inappropriately in the way he so vehemently criticized those who charters. His behavior would be wrong even if his kid stayed at Eastern, but now that he has made the same decision he flamed so many others for making, his conduct is even less appropriate.
