[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure if I create a new thread for this it will be deleted because, gasp, it's about another state and so irrelevant here (ok Jeff...) but you all need to read this: https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-covid-19-illinois-schools-opening-pressure-20201031-cwivxnk72bfr7f77jtxwop75ne-story.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Breaking%20News&utm_content=861604189979&fbclid=IwAR2aDhVi2SnK6LkJZiIq6ZQfZEBfNvvucOBDVeqGFeLsxbT38Nz1_MvxPzk

I'm pro-reopening, but I'm also white and middle class. This article shows why this won't happen. Once it becomes a race issue, and it's wealthier whites that want it, in DC, it's doomed.

I actually think it will push many of those families into private schools, including ours, or to the suburbs. This is the issue. [/quote]

Of course I know about the racial divide. But it’s ironic that that article claims white parents are ignoring “the science” when the current science strongly supports reopening. It’s an issue of communicating to those communities that they should not be overly fearful. That’s exactly why the WTU’s fear-based tactics are so incredibly toxic. Beyond that, nobody is going to force families into the classroom that don’t want to go.  [/quote]
