[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students are not "customers." They are students.

One reason, Kenny, that you have this Federalist internship, is someone took a stab at educating you, patted you on the back, and encouraged your hopes and dreams. I'm not sure how familiar you are with America, but we have a vision here, imperfectly realized, that education is the great equalizer. It's what gives every child in this nation the tools they need for success.

In practice, as with everything, nothing is so simple.

But your facile notions of how markets work, how children are "customers," how teachers are suddenly failing but will magically be enabled by some kind of fairydust private school... Run by Catholics, no less! I mean, I'd be laughing hysterically if it wasn't for you being serious.

I am genuinely sorry you've been misled. [/quote]

These posters are just outside agitators. There's no way they even live here.[/quote]

Ita. They may not be interns from the Federalist, but we all know Daily Caller used to troll these boards regularly pre-Trump and their elevation to the status of "news," at which point they began trolling the country.

There is no reason to assume everyone posting is doing so because of personal opinion, although that should be the intent. [/quote]

Thank you for your post. I found DCUM around the time that COVID hit, so, relatively recently.  I’ve been troubled by the nastiness, the often casual racism, and the trolling, which often seems gratuitous.  I really appreciate this reminder that much of this is deliberate, and that these efforts to foster discord and distrust are not, for the most part, coming from people that are actually my neighbors.
