[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easy to ignore it, that's what I did.

They didn't have the courage to sign with their names and are suggesting people can sign anonymously. That isn't how to make a persuasive argument.[/quote]

The clandestine email was neither well written nor very civil. It stood in stark contrast to the students’ email which was well written and courageous; the many children who signed onto it had the civility to sign their names. Anonymous emails seeking anonymous signatures for an anonymous petition should have no place in our community and frankly “the polite society”.  The sympathy we might have had for the intent was erased by not wanting to be associates with the Parents Anonymous who act this way. So, no, if we care about behaving in line with our shared values so our children will too, it should not be simply ignored but should be discussed openly by our community. Come forward, everyone knows or think they know anyway, but it might help salvage some of your reputation for when we all look each other in the eye again.[/quote]

Hmmmm.....I wonder why they did not openly include their names, when respectfully asking the school to have their children attend school on campus when they have paid over 45,000 in tuition and hybrid worked? What a shocking request! Could it possibly be due to some of the  views expressed by other parents (or are they really bored HS students? teachers?) on this site? Not a whole lot of tolerance or civility being expressed here, no matter how virtuous you think you are.[/quote]

because they are coward Karens?[/quote]

So, if you are SFS person, Karen is a sexist and classist term. If you are a bored HSer, please go do your homework or college apps. [/quote]

Many of us know who is behind the attempt at the anonymous letter, and that you are active on the SFS dcurbanmoms threads. It is hilarious how upset you get at being called Karens, as you know in your heart that is how you are acting. You really should send a followup email using your real names to the people you spammed, and apologize. Lots of us sympathize with the concerns, but your methods were wrong. Own it and move on and help the community have a constructive conservation. Until then, deal with being called Karens since you won't use your real names. [/quote]

So I am not behind the letter. I did not sign the letter. Karen is blatantly sexist. It basically means "Shut up, middle-aged women--you are out of line by speaking out." [Remember, as well: these "Karens" pay salaries and donate to all the funds that keep the school operating--it is not just husbands who have the money, folks.] These parents who sent the letter already presented it to the Board and school, I think, on Tuesday. They were not hiding names there. It is of no concern to you, actually, if you did not sign, especially since it was obvious from the start that the school is not going to change their plan. There is absolutely no apology needed. I am appalled by your entitled and aggressive stance and wonder if you are really a parent. What threatens you here? Why don't you speak directly to these parents if you know who they are?[/quote]
