[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s just speaking the truth. That’s why everyone on this thread is upset. Why not acknowledge your privilege and then have a conversation?![/quote]

We work very hard to send our children to an affordable private parochial school. Are we more privileged than some? of course. But our school is very diverse in terms of financial background- many on scholarship, parents on WIC, SNAP, etc... The council and Gayles are prejudiced against anyone whose beliefs differ. [/quote]

You do realize the “but not everyone at private schools is privileged” argument is like saying “but I have friends who are Black,” right?

You also realize that there are several private school parents who think Gayles was right....

Point is people with power are used to getting their way and don’t like when they’re told no And then make excuses like “not all of us have power” to justify it. [/quote]

Actually- no. PP here- our school breaks its neck fundraising so that it doesn't have to turn anyone away for financial reasons. There is no 1% at our private parochial We are also recipients of financial aid and we live on a very tight budget so we can afford the rest. Every medical "science based" organization - ie. AAP, CDC, WHO, CHOP was advocating for in person schooling for the metrics that we were at this summer. It was straight up hypocrisy that hubs could operate in public schools while privates were ordered to be closed. This was about saving face for unions. And in the end- the research panned out. Love how people only want to follow science when it follows the narrative they choose.[/quote]
