[quote=Anonymous]I hesitate to ascribe nefarious motives like keeping out "the poor." But it is thoughtless.. and the effect of excluding underprivileged children -- even if they never learn of the event -- is unfortunate. It is class and privilege circling the wagons around itself nonetheless and reminds me of how wealth and privilege work everywhere. When I was just starting my career a male friend told me of how his boss invited the men on his team to strip clubs after work. This is the kind of access to power that underprivileged people and women do not get. This should be an obviously gross example to everyone on this board. While after work socializing is legal -- and popsicle parties are legal -- it is the fact that certain underprivileged people are excluded from participating in the advantages that these sanctioned social events confer. As some have said, this is the way the world has always worked. And, I guess why the world is not working so well these days.[/quote]
